Flame Retardant Plastics Overview
What is flame retardant plastic?

Flame retardant plastic is non-flammable plastic or plastic that is treated with special chemical additives to reduce its flammability. These additives slow down the burning process and reduce the amount of heat released when the plastic combusts. Flame retardant plastics can be used in applications such as electrical insulation, wet bench manufacturing, semiconductor manufacturing, and computer chip manufacturing.

 

Are flame-retardant plastics suitable for use in fire protection?

Yes, flame-retardant plastics are often used in fire protection applications such as fire barriers, fire containment systems, and fire-resistant coatings. These plastics can help to slow the spread of fire, reduce smoke and toxic gases, and provide protection from heat.

Customers Also Asked:
Which plastic is flame retardant?

Plastics such as PFA-M, ECTFE, CPVC, PVDF, and certain other high performance plastics are flame retardant. Plastics can be made with stronger flame retardant properties by adding brominated or chlorinated retardants.

What is high temperature plastic?

High temperature plastics, also known as high performance plastics, have a continuous operating temperature greater than 300°F. They are on average 10 times more expensive than general purpose plastic, but generally have a combination of outstanding thermal, chemical, wear, and mechanical properties. High performance plastics include Polyetherimide (PEI), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Ultem®, and polybenzimidazole (PBI).

Can plastic be made fire resistant?

Plastic materials can be modified with additives to enhance their fire resistance and even become a self-extinguishing or flame retardant material. Some types of plastic naturally have greater resistance to fire or are inherently flame retardant.

What's the meaning of flame retardant?

The term "flame retardant" refers to the chemicals or other compounds added to plastic to slow or prevent the spread of flames. Flame retardant plastics are self-extringuishing and will self-extinguish if the flame is removed. Flame retardants can be added to many plastics, including PFA, ECTFE, PVDF, and PVC.
