Multibase: Non-halogen based flame retardant
Multibase, Inc. announces a major conduit-tubing manufacturer has selected Multi-Flam 0803 NH LDPE for the fiber portion of their business.
Multi-Flam 0803 NH LDPE, a non-halogen based flame retardant chemistry, has replaced halogen systems for this application. Compared to halogen systems, Multi-Flam 0803 NH LDPE was selected above all other flame-retardant systems as well because of its excellent dexterity and low swelling when extruded to many diameters.
Multi-Flam 0803 NH LDPE belongs to the Multi-Flam (flame retardant) product range. This product range is ideal for injection ad extrusion; since they exhibit melt flows from 0.8 to 22 grams per 10 minutes.
Processing Multi-Flam grades present ease of transformation at an excellent cost ratio; providing a significantly wider processing window than typical halogen systems. Because Multi-Flam grades allow flexibility in part utility since they contain no halogen products, thereby opening potential markets. Additional economic attributes result from the fact that more flexible materials enable increased mobility in assembly.
Multi-Flam NH grades feature melt flows from 0.8 to 22.0. They provide 800-2500 psi tensile strength and flexural modulus of 20,000 – 55,000 psi.
