FireGuard BDP

Product Description

Description and Application

Fire Guard BDP is a halogen free flame retardant that belongs to the family of the oligomeric phosphate esters. It is based on bisphenol A bis-diphenyl phosphate as the monomer.

The use of PhireGuard BDP is parcularly suited for engineeringres in alloys like PC/ABS and PPO-PPE/HIPS used in electric andelectronic applicaons. Depending on the fire safety code aimedat, some 8 to 18phr of Phire Guard BDP are commonly used. Incontrast with other brominated flame retardants, Phire GuardBDP does not require the use of a synergist (typically AnmonyOxide), which constutes an advantage in terms of recyclability of the goods.

In addion, its low volality and thermal stability lies well withinthe processing condions of most engineering thermoplascresins. FireGuard BDP, due to its marked flowability, allows theproducon of thin wall mouldings.

Finally, its resistance toward hydrolysis compared to other flameretardants impart the final good with enhanced cracking and juicing properes.
