- Application
Arichem HES-FR is a high efficiency product used especially for flame retarding PC. The product is specifically designed for most effectiveness in translucent and opaque PC. It is not intended for transparent PC. For Transparent PC please look at Arichem HES2-FR or Arichem KSS-FR.. The active sulfonate content of Arichem HES-FR is much more than that of Potassium Perfluoro-butyl sulfonate (KPBS) and other sulfonate FR products. FR effectiveness has been shown to be related to sulfonate content.
