HaflonTM Halogen-free flame retardants

Used in Polyester Fiber and PET

NP3006

Product Description

NP3006 is a white granular powder based on an organic phosphinate. The product is not hygroscopic and slightly soluble both in water and in common organic solvents. It melts at 200 °C.

Features

Melts under processing temperatures above 200 °C, and is miscible with molten polyesters

High efficiency due to its high phosphorus content

Suitable for injection moulding and fiber applications

Minimal impact on physical properties of polyester compounds

Suited for PET fibers with LOI > 30 %

Not hygroscopic, slightly soluble in water and common organic solvents

Specification and Technical Data

Applications

NP3006 is a flame retardant for thermoplastics and synthetic fibers.Due to its high phosphorus content the product is distinguished by a high efficiency.

NP3006 is developed especially for the use in polyesters.It is suitable for injection moulding and fibre applications.The flame retarded polyester compounds exhibit very good physical and electrical properties.The recommended dosage of NP3006 for PET fibers is 5-10%. With 5% NP3006 a limit oxygen index (LOI) of 33% can be achieved.NP3006 has to be incorporated in the PET compound before the spinning process.In PBT, a dosage of 10-15% (by wt.)NP3006 together with 10-15% nitrogen synergists like melamine polyphosphate or melamine cyanurate is usually sufficient to obtain the UL 94 V-0 classification for electrical components (at 1.6 as well as 0.8mm thicknesses).

NP3006 melts under processing temperatures above 200°C and is miscible with the molten polyesters.Before incorporating NP3006,it is important to predry the polyester as usual.
