- Applications
- Charmax™ FS 12 is designed to provide an extra boost of flame retardancy and char formation with reduced levels of smoke in a wide variety of polymer systems including PVC, polyolefins, epoxy and low temperature nylons. It is particularly effective in replacing part of the Antimony Trioxide and/or hydrated fillers in halogenated and non-halogenated systems.
- Charmax™ FS 12 is used to help meet smoke and flammability tests such as ASTM-84, UL-94, ASTM-E662, UL-910, ASTM D2863, ASTM D3843 & NFPA 263.
