Flame Retardant Compounds
Innovative materials where reduced flammability is needed.
LyondellBasell is advancing what’s possible in electrification through its flame retardant (FR) compounds. Offering the same high-performance characteristics as many of our other thermoplastic and thermoset compounds, this added flame resistance is important in many high-heat or sensitive applications.
Portfolio Overview
❙ Flame retardant compounds across a variety of resin systems and filler types
❙ An extensive list of Underwriters Laboratory (UL) recognized grades
❙ HB through 5VA classifications in thermoplastics
❙ Compounds with elevated Relative Thermal Index (RTI), suitability for outdoor exposure (f1/f2), and electrical testing (HWI, HAI, CTI, HVTR, and dielectric)
❙ Variety of resin systems with large percentage of recycle content
❙ Several grades allowing up to 75% regrind usage
❙ Grades with low smoke density and toxicity
❙ Non-halogenated grades
