The flame retardant in a concentrate form concentrate is designed to be used at 5% to as much as 20% by weight. The pellets of this concentrate should be thoroughly gravimetrically blended with the virgin polyester (PET, PBT or PTT) pellets before being extruded. This FR system, when formulated as a compound, is designed to be used at 100% by weight.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Processing Conditions
This flame-retardant concentrate can be extrusion processed at temperatures as high as 270 degrees Celsius or higher if necessary.
- Other/Special
The flame-retardant properties of the final polyester construction must be determined experimentally. The optimal level of the flame retardant to use for a given construction must be determined on a case by case basis where all fuel sources need to be accommodated in attempting to meet a given flame-retardant specification.
