Flame Retardant and UV Stablizer for Polyolefin Flame Retardant Applications

116

FLAMESTAB NOR 116 is a monomeric N-alkoxy hindered amine (NOR HAS) which acts as a flame retardant in Polyolefin applications. It shows flame retardancy efficacy in polyolefin fibers, nonwovens and films at concentrations as low as 1%. FLAMESTAB NOR 116 shows excellent polymer compatibility and high extraction resistance. It also provides superior light and thermal stability to the polymer and shows low interaction with acidic species deriving from pesticide residues or other halogenated products.

Molecular weight Applications

2261 g/mol FLAMESTAB NOR 116 provides flame retardant efficacy as well as UV and thermal stability to polyolefin fibers and thin films. It can be combined with UV-absorbers or other non-interacting HALS to further improve UV stability of the final article. FLAMESTAB NOR 116 is a low basicity NOR HAS which provides flame retardancy and UV- and long-term thermal stability to polyolefin fiber, films and tapes. It is a non-halogenated flame retardant and does not interact with HALS. FLAMESTAB NOR 116 is active at low concentrations compared to classical flame retardants. It is melt processable and does not reduce the mechanical properties of the polymer. Code: Appearance: FLAMESTAB NOR 116 FF Off-white granules
