FRX Polymers has launched a series of non-halogenated flame retardants under the brand name Nofia.
The non-halogenated flame retardant product is suitable for high temperature polyurethane soft foam in transportation, electronics and other industries.
The Nofia flame retardant (FRs) is a non-halogenated polyphosphonate which can be added in powder form or as a liquid polyol solution. It can be used as a flame retardant and heat stabilizer to make polyurethane soft foam meet UL 94 V-0 fireproof standards. The company claims that the foam added to the flame retardant retains its mechanical properties after a heat aging test at 150 degrees Celsius.
Applications include under-the-hood hoods, cushions and gaskets for electric vehicle battery packs, and foams for noise, vibration and harshness in a variety of transport components. Also available for UL 94 V-0 compliance Washers for electrical and electronic components.
During the development process, FRX worked with its customers to find alternative materials for expandable graphite in the automotive PU hood disposable PU foaming process.
Ina Jiang, VP of Polymer Sales and Marketing at FRX, said: 'The unique advantages of our unique non-halogenated flame retardants have been proven to provide key advantages in addition to flame retardancy in a variety of applications. This is a Nofia polyphosphonate. Another example of the ability to achieve breakthrough performance. '
