PC Retardant Masterbatch MB-M565
DR-M565 is a novel flame retardant developed for PC polycarbonate compounding products. DR-M565 does not contain any halogen, nor requires adding anti-drip agents (PTFE). Therefore, it is completely PFAS FREE. When used together with toughening agents, it can achieve V0 flame retarding level for PC at a thickness of 1.6mm, without affecting its impact strength. This provides a perfect solution for PFAS FREE FR-PC products.
