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. The 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.
