Inovia AR-S11 is a newly developed halogen-free flame retardant for acrylatepolymers(eg. PMMA). It can afford acrylate polymers superior flame retardingperformance while not affecting its transparency, which is the first case ever inthe whole world. It can be used for extruding and casting products.

1. Materials

PMMA: Arkema PLEXIGLAS V040

Flame retardant: Inovia AR-S11

2. Processing

2.1 Drying: 80℃ for 4h in a vacuum oven.

2.2 Extrusion temperature: 200~230℃

2.3 Injection temperature: 215~230℃; mold temperature: 60℃

Note: AR-S11 can be added during polymerization or during modification steps. If the additive is added during modification, liquid side feeder is recommended. The processing temperature canbe about 20°C lower than that for the virgin resin. Too high extrusion temperature or shearingforce need to be avoided.
