PC Retardant Masterbatch MB-PC20C
Inovia MB-PC20C is an efficient flame-retardant masterbatch for PC. The concentration of flame retardant DR-M878 is 20%. Adding 7.5-10%, the product can achieve UL94 V0 at 0.25-1.6mm. This product can improve flowability, and can be used for film, sheet, and thin-walled injection mold without adding anti-drip (PTFE).
