FR-720 is an additive flame retardant containing both aromatic and aliphatic bromine. FR-720 is suitable for polyolefin and styrenic resins and it is especially recommended for UL-94 class V-2. It is also applicable in class V-0 polypropylene. FR- 720 is cost efficient and allows good physical properties of the resin to be maintained.
