Features Of FR-5100 High Transparency PC Halogen-Free Flame Retardant

  1. Exceptional optical clarity with >90% light transmittance (ASTM D1003), preserving the aesthetic integrity of transparent polycarbonate parts.

  2. Halogen-free formulation ensures low smoke density and non-corrosive combustion gases, meeting stringent environmental and safety standards (IEC 61249-2-21, UL 94 V-0 at 1.5 mm).

  3. Excellent thermal stability up to 320 °C, enabling compatibility with standard PC processing conditions (injection molding, extrusion) without degradation.

  4. Low migration and blooming resistance, ensuring long-term surface quality and dimensional stability in demanding applications.

  5. Good compatibility with aromatic polycarbonate resins, enabling uniform dispersion without requiring additional compatibilizers.

Typical Applications Of FR-5100 High Transparency PC Halogen-Free Flame Retardant

  1. LED lighting housings and lens covers requiring both flame retardancy and high light transmission.

  2. Transparent electronic enclosures for medical devices, industrial HMIs, and public kiosks.

  3. Fire-rated glazing components in architectural and transportation interiors (e.g., train cabin partitions, elevator panels).

  4. Optical-grade safety shields and protective faceguards compliant with EN 166 and ANSI Z87.1.

  5. Transparent battery module covers for energy storage systems where halogen-free performance is mandated.
