Dynamic Modifiers Flame Retardant for Polyester
Dynamic Modifiers Flame Retardant for Polyester is new environmentally sustainable, nontoxic and proprietary flame-retardant compounds andconcentrates are designed for use in polyester fibers, tapes, monofilaments and films. Specifically, it canbe formulated with a number of different polyester carrier resins including PET, PBT, even PTT. Thisflame retardant is halogen free. It does not contain antimony or any heavy metals. It has a higher level ofphosphorous than that found in other flame retardants of a similar chemistry. The flame retardant in thesecompounds and concentrate is very heat stable and melt blendable making it an ideal flame retardant forfiber and film applications. It is not known to impart color or odor to the polyester in which it is used.Listed below are a few of the more common specifications for this flame-retardant composition. Whenused properly, it is designed to meet these specifications in applications where fibers and films made fromit are commonly used:.

The flame-retardant properties of the final polyester construction must be determined experimentally. The optimal level of the flame retardant to use for a given construction must be determined on a case by case basis where all fuel sources need to be accommodated in attempting to meet a given flame-retardant specification.

- Recommended Use
The flame retardant in a concentrate form concentrate is designed to be used at 5% to as much as 20% by weight. The pellets of this concentrate should be thoroughly gravimetrically blended with the virgin polyester (PET, PBT or PTT) pellets before being extruded. This FR system, when formulated as a compound, is designed to be used at 100% by weight.
- Material Features
- Antimony Free
- Non-Toxic
- Processing Conditions
This flame-retardant concentrate can be extrusion processed at temperatures as high as 270 degrees Celsius or higher if necessary.
