Dynamic Modifiers 200-10228 Flame Retardant
Dynamic Modifiers 200-10228 Flame Retardant is new environmentally sustainable, nontoxic and proprietary flame-retardant concentrate is designed foruse in Natureworks polylactic acid fibers, tapes, monofilaments, films and thick gage extruded or moldedparts. This flame retardant is halogen free, does not contain antimony or any heavy metals. The flameretardant system in this concentrate is not known to impart color or odor or have a significant impact on themechanical properties when used at recommended levels to flame retard Ingeo PLA.

The flame-retardant properties of the final Ingeo PLA construction must be determined experimentally. The optimal level of flame retardant for Ingeo PLA concentrate to use for a given construction must be determined on a case by case basis where all fuel sources will need to be accommodated in attempting to pass a given flame-retardant specification.
- Specifications
Listed below are a few of the more common specifications this flame retardant concentrate, when used properly, is designed to meet in applications where fibers, films or molded parts made from it are commonly used:
- Labeling Claims
- Antimony-free
- Environmentally Friendly
- Halogen-free
- Heavy Metal-free
- Non-Toxic
- Sustainable
- Recommended Use
The flame-retardant concentrate is designed to be used from 3.0% to as much as 18% by weight. The pellets of this concentrate should be thoroughly gravimetrically blended with the virgin polylactic acid pellets before being extruded.
- Material Features
- Antimony Free
- Non-Toxic
- Processing Conditions
This flame-retardant concentrate can be extrusion processed at temperatures as high as 230 degrees Celsius. Higher processing temperatures will degrade the PLA host resin or carrier resin of the concentrate.
