Ohara CR-733S RDP Halogen-Free Flame Retardant – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of CR-733S?

A: CR-733S is based on resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate) (RDP), a phosphorus-containing aromatic organophosphate widely recognized for its halogen-free flame-retardant performance in thermoplastics and engineering resins.


Q2: In which polymer systems is CR-733S most commonly used?

A: CR-733S demonstrates excellent compatibility and processing stability in polycarbonate (PC), PC/ABS blends, polyesters (e.g., PET, PBT), and certain polyamide formulations—particularly where low volatility, good hydrolytic stability, and minimal impact on mechanical properties are required.


Q3: How does CR-733S achieve flame retardancy without halogens?

A: It functions primarily through condensed-phase action—promoting char formation on the polymer surface—and gas-phase radical quenching via phosphorus-containing volatile species generated during thermal decomposition. This dual mechanism helps meet stringent fire safety standards while avoiding halogen-related environmental and corrosion concerns.


Q4: Is CR-733S suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance with RoHS, REACH, or similar frameworks?

A: Yes—CR-733S contains no intentionally added halogens, heavy metals, or substances currently restricted under RoHS Directive or REACH Annex XIV/XVII. Its formulation aligns with industry expectations for halogen-free, eco-conscious flame retardancy, though final compliance must be verified per end-product configuration and regional requirements.
