Padanaplast launches PIN flame retardant compound for ultra-flexible, high-voltage e-vehicle battery and powertrain cables. The new performance XLPO-HFFR (halogen-free flame retardant, silane cross-linkable polyolefin) compound also offers thermal and mechanical...
Electrolube has developed thermally conductive PIN flame retardant epoxy resins for LEDs. ER2074 is a white resin which uses PIN flame retardants to achieve UL94-V0 with low smoke and fumes. It is thermally conductive (1.26 W/m.k), does not contain abrasive fillers so...
pinfa member BASF has developed new bromine, chlorine and antimony free FR polyamide and polyester solutions for IT, construction, e-mobility. The new compounds are an unreinforced polyester, and a reinforced polyamide. They offer fire performance (UL94-V0 @ 0.4 mm),...
Tests show that 3D-printed polycarbonate with and without PIN FRs show different fire performance results than granules. 3D-printable polycarbonate (Covestro) was tested with two different transparency-compatible PIN FR masterbatches (Gabriel-Chemie) then extruded to...
Flame retardants are a key protection technology to reduce the specific problem of lithium-ion battery fires. Fires in lithium ion batteries (LIB) are uncommon, but are of concern because such batteries are ubiquitous, with increasingly large units such as in...
