Nofia Polyphosphonates is a non-halogenated flame retardant polymeric additive which retains or improves properties versus other FR additives including excellent FR (UL 94 V-0) at 1.5 mm, good impact, HDT, wear and outstanding chemical resistance. Nofia Homopolymers and Copolymer Flame retardant additives have achieved the highest rating of Benchmark 3 in the well-recognized Green Screen Assessment.
"We looked at a lot of non-halogenated FR additives," says Rick Wilson of PolyVisions, "but none performed as well as Nofia Polyphosphonates in mechanicals and FR performance".
In a related development, Washington State has included Polyvisions DuraPET 624FR based on Nofia Polyphosphonates in their list of alternatives to Halogenated FR compounds for Consumer electronics applications.
DuraPET 624 FR with Nofia – Excellent Chemical Resistance
DuraPET 624 FR™ is a graft modified PET material that has a UL V0 listing for flame retardancy – enabled by Nofia non-halogenated flame retardant additives. It achieves a V0 FR, while maintaining extreme high impact and wear characteristics and excellent chemical resistance. With the addition of Nofia, higher chemical resistance may be achieved. This makes DuraPET 624 FR potentially ideal for applications such as medical instrumentation and consumer electronic housings.
Based on requests from customers, DuraPET 0624 FR was recently submitted for third party testing for CTI and GWIT. DuraPET 0624 FR achieves 600 CTI and 825 GWIT. This would potentially allow DuraPET 0624 FR to compete in high voltage and battery applications.
