Enflame 950 is a non-halogenated ultra-fine particle flame retardant which develops its effectiveness through phosphorus/nitrogen synergism. When incorporated into thermoplastics, it shows high processing stability. Enflame 950 differs in its mode of action from chlorine- or bromine-containing flame retardants by achieving its effect through intumescence. The thermoplastic material foams on exposure to flame. The carbon foam layer so formed protects the polymer through its heat-insulating effect, reduces further oxygen access and prevents dripping of the thermoplastic.

    • Enflame950 may be used in a range of thermoplastics, especially polypropylene, polyethylene, Nylon 6, nylon 66, and PET or PBT. It is suitable both for extrusion and  injection molding applications. For most thermoplastics, 15-25% of Enflame 950 is used with 3-5 % of our Synergist 100 or 120, depending on the application. Enflame 950 is used in various adhesives and polymers as a flame retardant. It is also available in polyol form to enhance adhesion properties and water resistance.
