Features Of Albemarle SAYTEX BT-93 Flame Retardant

  1. Brominated aromatic ether-based flame retardant offering excellent thermal stability for high-processing-temperature polymers.

  2. Low volatility and minimal plate-out, supporting consistent performance in long-run extrusion and injection molding operations.

  3. High bromine content (≥57 wt%) enables efficient flame inhibition at relatively low loading levels in engineering thermoplastics.

  4. Good compatibility with polycarbonate (PC), PC/ABS blends, and polyesters—minimizing impact on mechanical properties and clarity.

  5. Compliant with major global regulatory frameworks including RoHS (exemption 7a) and REACH SVHC candidate list criteria.

Typical Applications Of Albemarle SAYTEX BT-93 Flame Retardant

  1. Flame-retarded polycarbonate (PC) used in electrical enclosures and connectors.

  2. PC/ABS blends for automotive interior components requiring UL 94 V-0 rating.

  3. Engineering thermoplastics in consumer electronics housings and power tools.

  4. LED lighting diffusers and lens materials demanding optical clarity and fire safety.

  5. Industrial control panels and telecom infrastructure where halogenated FR performance is specified.
