Enhanced fire protection in electrical fittings and vehicles
New flame-retardant PC/ABS for extrusion applications
Products made of the material (which is UL94 V-0 listed) comply with all the usual fire prevention standards in the electrical, construction and public transport industries. Because of its much lower emission of acid and toxic gases compared with conventional materials, Bayblend FR 3030 reduces potential subsequent fire damage through corrosion and contamination, and, as such, is a new milestone in the management of fire risks. The halogen-free material satisfies the German cable standard DIN VDE 0472, Parts 813 and 815, and complies with the requirements of the TCO 99 and "Blue Angel" environment symbols.
Apart from its excellent flame retardance, the other properties of Bayblend FR 3030 constitute a 'new state of the art'. Above all, its excellent UV stability, mechanical performance and exceptional heat resistance open up applications where even more demanding specifications have to be met.
