Available in unfilled, impact-modified, and flame-retardant grades, these formulations deliver performance that is comparable to PC blends and well suited to high-touch applications, such as point-of-sale devices.
The flame-retardant grade in the series is formulated to meet UL-94 rating 5VA at 3.0 mm and V-0 at 1.5 mm.

Our non-halogenated,
flame-retardant panels bridge these gaps, enabling builders to move beyond the
limitations of outdated solutions.
Integrated, non-halogenated FR: Engineered to meet fire retardance standards
without the need for additional fireproofing layers.
