Products in Implants & Prosthetics: Flame Retardant

NUDEC®PETg plastic sheets are easily processed as they can be molded into different pieces and shapes other polymers cannot. They are easily thermoformed, even in thick gages (up to 12 mm). This is one of the most valued properties within the transformation process of PETg plastic sheets. Unlike PC, PETg sheets do not require pre-drying and can be thermoformed in thicknesses greater than those of PMMA. Furthermore, they can be cold bent (up to 2 mm thickness) and can also be laser-cut.

3B Fiberglass MF 01 ER are E-CR glass filaments ground to a specified density. MF 01 ER is designed to reinforce products like thermoplastics, thermoset resins, glues, coatings, and adhesives within a large range of applications and markets.MF 01 ER represents a main improvement compared to minerals when aiming for a higher stiffness and/or better impact properties in combination with specific properties, such as flow enhancement, flame retardancy, uniform isotropic shrinkage, resistance to acid environment, coating stability, etc. MF 01 ER can be collocated in between mineral fillers and most com-monly available milled fibers as it dis-plays an intermediate length/diameter aspect ratio. The product comes in a powdery form that provides both improved flowability/handling and low density.

Polynt Group 25 series gelcoats are formulated from premium polyester resins and fire retardant additives to achieve optimal fire retardancy properties and low slow smoke development. They are suitable for applications requiring a surface with resistance to flame spread and smoke development.

Quantum Composites QC 7810FR is a polyester ESC® molding compound designed for compression molding of components requiring high structural strength and flame resistance. It is suggested for applications subject to impacts of rough handling. This is a halogen free fire retardant system.
