Flame Retardant Additive for EPS (Expandable Polystyrene) and XPS (Extruded Polystyrene)

Into Chemicals is active with the IC FR-130X which is one of the better available flame retardants for EPS and XPS.

The industry has abandoned the use of hexabromocyclododecane for years under pressure from legislation. The IC FR-130X provides a solution for this.

Advantages and cost savings

  • IC FR-130X is a flame retardant additive with several important benefits. One of these benefits is the low dosage level required to meet the proper flame retardant requirements. In addition, the additive scores high in terms of thermal and UV stability.
  • The IC FR-130X is mainly used in EPS (Expandable Polystyrene) and XPS (Extruded Polystyrene), polypropylene, and other styrene resins.

Comparison with your current technology

  • IC FR-130X provides higher flame retardant efficiency than brominated aromatic flame retardant. Additionally, the product is better and safer for the machinery of processors.
  • The IC FR-130X is particularly suitable for use in plastics with a high processing temperature.
  • The FR-130X is a perfect alternative to HBCD (Hexabromocyclododecane).
