Avient Unveils PTFE-Free and Non-Halogen Flame Retardants for Polycarbonate at Fakuma 2023   NEW Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives, PTFE-Free and Non-Halogen for Polycarbonate – These new additives are formulated without PTFE, which is part of per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS). Suitable for various polycarbonates, including recycled grades, these flame-retardant additives help achieve GWFI temperatures up to 960°C according to IEC 60695-2-12 testing protocols (link to full press release above).  

Avient Introduces durable orange nylon colorants for High Voltage Electrical Vehicle (EV) Connectors, combining high heat and long-term color stability against fading in glass-filled PA6 and PA66 systems without compromising flame retardancy or mechanical performance. Comparative testing between PA66-GF/FR without and with OnColor orange showed no impact on flame retardancy and limited adverse effects on essential mechanical characteristics, such as flexural and impact strength.   They meet a fast-growing demand in the EV market by combining excellent processability, high chromatic initial color, and little to no constraints on flame retardancy and electrical or mechanical properties.

Hammerhead™ FR flame retardant composite panels provide a smarter, more efficient, and cost-effective solution for modular construction by integrating fire resistance, reducing weight, and simplifying installation. Maxxam™ NHFR Non-Halogen Flame Retardant Polyolefin Formulation provided an optimal balance of fire safety and durability for living wall planter Stat-Tech™ Fire Alarm

Also announced will be the availability of two new Edgetek™ PKE polyketone (PK) grades with non-halogen flame retardants (NHFRs).  Electric vehicle connectors require materials with specific performance properties, including chemical resistance, flame retardancy and colorability. For further environmental protection, the new Edgetek™ PKE materials include an NHFR additive, providing flame retardant performance to the UL94 V0 standard.
