Features Of BASF MC50 Flame Retardant

  1. Halogen-free, environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional brominated flame retardants.

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 300 °C, enabling compatibility with high-temperature polymer processing.

  3. Low smoke and low toxicity emissions during combustion, meeting stringent fire safety standards (e.g., UL 94 V-0).

  4. Good dispersion in polyolefins and engineering thermoplastics without compromising mechanical properties.

  5. Non-migrating formulation ensures long-term flame-retardant performance and surface integrity.

Typical Applications Of BASF MC50 Flame Retardant

  1. Wire and cable jacketing for low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) cables.

  2. Electrical enclosures and housings in consumer electronics and industrial equipment.

  3. Automotive interior components requiring FMVSS 302 compliance.

  4. Building and construction materials including conduit, ducts, and insulation sheathing.

  5. 3D printing filaments for functional flame-retardant prototypes and end-use parts.
