Ferroflam® PC RPM 240B

1 of 4 products in this brand
Ferroflam® PC RPM 240B is a non -halogenated flame retardant based on red phosphorus, particularly suitable for polycarbonate articles. It is offered as a free-flowing and dust-free master batch in pellets physical form which makes it very easy to handle, accurate to dose and safe to process, allowing high consistency in the quality of the final article. Ferroflam® PC RPM 240 is based on stabilized and micro-encapsulated red phosphorus powder grades and styrene-acrylic nitnile copolymer as a carmier resin. Ifis easy to be homogeneously dispersed in the polymer compound,.

Applications

FERROFLAM PC RPM 240 is the master batch developed especially for PC, also glass-fiber reinforced, intended to be used for electrical switches, connectors and domestic appliances, etc.

Formulation

In PC, a recommended dosage should range from 3 to 6% (by wt) based on the weight of polymer, depending on PC grade, processing conditions and the required flame retardancy class.
Specifically, in PC, a dosage of 4% is usually sufficient to meet the most demanding applications for electrical components ie.V-0at 1.6mm in thickness according to UL94).

Formulation

FERROFLAM PC RPM 240 is endowed with high themal stability and particularly for polycarbonate and glass-fiber reinforced.
It is suitable temperatures rise up to 320 without degrading or releasing die build-up or carbonaceous residues in hot runners.
However, the following processing instructions have to be considered:
1) Polymer pellets/powders which are processed together with FERROFLAM PC RPM 240 should be pre-dried. The residual moisture content should be under 0.06%.
2) The maximum temperature of the polymer melt should not exceed 320°C.
3) Drying of the pellets immediately after compounding is recommended. Itis best to use a strand pelletizer with as short a water bath as possible.
