Exolit OP1400 VS ProFlam-PN4131
ProFlam-PN4131 is a non-halogenated flame retardant based on organic phosphinates for reinforced polyamide 6, polyamide 66
and high temperature polyamides.
The product achieves its flame retardant effect through a combined gas phase and condensed phase mode of action.
It can replace Exolit OP1400 which is launched by Clariant recently.
Benefits:
-Suited for applications in hot and humid environments
-Outstanding thermal stability - widest processing window
-UL 94V-0 rating down to 0.4 mm thickness
-The flame retardant polyamide compounds exhibit very good physical and excellent electrical properties
-Low material density
-Good colorability
-Good contrast in laser marking
-Non-halogenated flame retardants with favorable environmental and health profile
-Shows a high-potential for mechanical recycling while maintaining the flame retardancy and other properties.
-Don't include Melamine Polyphosphate
Applications:
PN4131 was developed especially for use in polyamides.
It is suited for polyamide 6 and 66 as well as polyphthalamides and other high temperature polyamides, e.g. PA 46, for both
glass-fiber-reinforced and unreinforced grades. T
he flame retarded polyamide compounds exhibit very good physical and electrical properties.
Dosage:
In glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide 6 or 6.6, a dosage of about 20 % (by wt.) of PN4131 is usually sufficient to obtain the
UL 94 V-0 classification for electrical components (at 1.6 mm as well as 0.8 mm and 0.4 mm thickness).
In semi-aromatic polyamides the dosage can be reduced to approx. 15%.
Subject to the polymer grade, processing conditions and glass- fibre reinforcement the dosage of the flame retardant may vary.
