Features Of Clariant PU 6580 Flame Retardant

  1. Halogen-free phosphorus-based flame retardant offering excellent fire safety performance without compromising environmental and health profiles.

  2. Designed for high compatibility with polyurethane (PU) flexible foams, ensuring uniform dispersion and minimal impact on foam processing.

  3. Enables UL 94 V-0 and FMVSS 302 compliance in rigid and semi-rigid PU foam formulations.

  4. Low volatility and thermal stability up to 220 °C support efficient processing during foam curing and laminating operations.

  5. Reduces smoke density and toxic gas emission during combustion compared to conventional halogenated alternatives.

Typical Applications Of Clariant PU 6580 Flame Retardant

  1. Flexible polyurethane foams for automotive seating and interior trim.

  2. Rigid PU insulation panels used in building and construction applications.

  3. Semi-rigid PU foams for transportation seating (buses, trains, aircraft).

  4. Upholstery foams in furniture meeting stringent fire safety regulations (e.g., CAL 117, BS 5852).

  5. Acoustic and damping PU composites in industrial equipment enclosures.
