Products in Photovoltaic Components: Flame Retardant

Akulon® Ultraflow K-FKGS6/B is a versatile family of high-performance polyamide 6 and polyamide 66 materials widely employed by global customers in automotive, electronics, electrical, furniture, and packaging applications. In molded parts, these materials deliver an impressive blend of design flexibility and ease of processing, along with exceptional mechanical properties over a broad temperature range and diverse conditions. For extrusion, they set industry benchmarks, featuring remarkable strength, resilience, and ease of processing. The preferred processing technology for these materials is injection molding. Notable features encompass good or high flow characteristics, heat stabilization, and VDE certification.

SuperOhm® 3450 peroxide crosslinkable EPR compounds are designed for high temperature stability and superior electrical performance.

SuperOhm® 3455 peroxide crosslinkable EPR compounds are designed for high temperature stability and superior electrical performance.

Colorable flame retardant polymeric composition in pellet form, based on EPR rubber containing peroxide curing agent, ready for extrusion in a conventional CV extrusion line. Cables insulated with this compound are recognized for balanced properties including excellent heat, radiation, crush, deformation resistance at high temperatures, and superior flexibility.

Flamtard H (zinc hydroxystannate) is an insoluble, non-hazardous, antimony-free flame retardant synergist that inhibits the development of flames and smoke in polymers. In halogen-containing polymers, the material has both condensed and vapor phase action during combustion. At 220 °C, the material releases 15w% of water, then at higher temperatures (400 °C - 600 °C) zinc and tin ions exert catalytic activity that inhibits the radical chain reaction causing the flame. In halogen-free polymers Flamtard H can increase the char consistency and strength.

Flamtard S (zinc stannate) is an insoluble, non-hazardous, antimony-free flame retardant synergist, and is increasingly being used in green applications, particularly in the electronics industry. It is extremely effective in PVC systems for cable sheathing, epoxy resins for printed circuit boards, polyamides and surface coatings. Flamtard S is thermally stable up to 400 °C; at higher temperatures (400 °C - 600 °C) zinc and tin ions exert catalytic activity that inhibits the radical chain reaction causing the flame.
