Flame Retardant (FR) plastics are essential to devices we use every day, providing a valuable tool in fire prevention. In order for fire to occur, three basic elements must exist: fuel, heat, and oxygen. The science of flame retardance uses chemical reactions to moderate<\/strong> one or more of these fire elements.<\/p>\n Although no plastic can be rendered entirely fire proof, flame retardant thermoplastics can delay ignition and fire spread, which increases escape time, making them a critical part of product design. In addition, part design and nominal wall thickness are key factors in flammability certification.<\/p>\n Our engineers can formulate the right thermoplastic compound for your application, one that meets regulations, achieves optimum moldability, and provides the performance you expect.<\/p>\n<\/div>
