MCA® PPM Triazine HF

1 of 3 products in this brand
MCA® PPM Triazine HF is aProprietary polymeric secondary, halogen-free flame retardant as nitrogen synergist for fire retardation by intumescence; derived from phosphorus nitrogen synergism. In the event of fire the plastic material containing such a fire retardant system foams, cross-links and forms a solid char at the surface acting as a fire shield. The protective layer also imparts a heat-insulation effect, reduces oxygen permeability and prevents dripping of molten polymer, if and wherever it can occur. Such systems are also characterized by low smoke density, and low toxic fumes. Inert large molecular weight PPM triazines are particularly recommended where small molecular weight state-of-the-art nitrogen synergists fail either in processing or in performance such as due to sublimation, liberation of toxic ammonia by self-condensation, mold deposits, and plate-out from or interaction with the polymer itself.

Recommended Applications

MCA® PPM Triazine HF is suited for PP, PE, PP copolymers, PP blends for injection molding and extrusion applications. Formulation: A total loading of 20-25% of a blend consisting of 75% ammonium polyphosphate and 25% MCA® PPM Triazine HF is usually sufficient to achieve LOI > 30% & UL 94 V0 (in addition to realizing other benefits such as low smoke density and less toxic fumes) in PP at 1.6mm. The blend of 75% ammonium polyphosphate and 25% MCA® PPM Triazine HF can also be used in polyurethane foams. It is recommended to make and use a dispersion of the blend either in polyol or isocyaanate for the application.To prevent the solids from settling, the blend suspension should be stirred or circulated by pump. The following classifications can be achieved: PU rigid foam (density > 30 kg/m3) DIN 4102-B 2 PU rigid integral skin foam (density > 200 kg/m3) DIN 4102-B 2 / UL 94-V0 PU/polyester flexible foam (density > 30 kg/m3) FMVSS 302-SE / UL 94-HF 1 Casting resins based on epoxy resins or unsaturated polyester resins also achieve the classification UL 94-V0 with the blend of 75% ammonium polyphosphate and 25% MCA® PPM Triazine HF.
