Features Of Deflamer LFR-8003 Polyamide Halogen-Free Flame Retardant

  1. Halogen-free formulation compliant with RoHS, REACH, and UL 94 V-0 requirements for polyamide systems.

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 320 °C, enabling seamless integration into high-temperature polyamide processing (e.g., PA6, PA66).

  3. Low migration tendency and superior long-term flame-retardant performance retention under thermal aging and humidity exposure.

  4. Good compatibility with polyamide resins, minimizing impact on mechanical properties such as tensile strength and impact resistance.

  5. Non-corrosive to processing equipment and does not generate acidic or toxic decomposition gases during combustion.

Typical Applications Of Deflamer LFR-8003 Polyamide Halogen-Free Flame Retardant

  1. Electrical and electronic components: connectors, circuit breakers, and insulating housings.

  2. Automotive under-hood parts: sensor housings, fuse boxes, and engine control modules.

  3. Industrial machinery components requiring UL 94 V-0 rated flame retardancy in polyamide matrices.

  4. Railway interior parts compliant with EN 45545-2 fire safety standards.

  5. Consumer appliance housings where halogen-free compliance is mandated by OEM specifications.

Deflamer LFR-8003 Polyamide Halogen-Free Flame Retardant – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What polyamide grades is Deflamer LFR-8003 compatible with?

A: Deflamer LFR-8003 is specifically engineered for use in PA6, PA66, and their copolymer variants. It demonstrates excellent dispersion and interfacial compatibility in both unfilled and glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide systems, supporting stable melt processing and consistent flame-retardant performance.


Q2: How does LFR-8003 achieve flame retardancy without halogenated compounds?

A: LFR-8003 operates via an intumescent mechanism—promoting the formation of a thermally stable, insulating char layer upon exposure to heat or flame. This char barrier limits fuel release, oxygen diffusion, and heat transfer, enabling effective flame suppression while eliminating halogen-related environmental and corrosion concerns.


Q3: Does LFR-8003 affect mechanical properties or processing stability of polyamide compounds?

A: When properly compounded, LFR-8003 delivers balanced performance—maintaining good tensile strength, impact resistance, and thermal stability. It exhibits low volatility and minimal plate-out tendency during extrusion and injection molding, supporting robust processability across standard polyamide processing conditions.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range for achieving UL94 V-0 rating in thin-wall polyamide parts?

A: Dosage depends on base resin, filler content, part geometry, and target flame class. For UL94 V-0 at 1.6 mm thickness in standard PA66 GF30, LFR-8003 is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—and often optimized in combination with synergistic additives to maximize efficiency.
