- Application Information
Melamine cyanurate is the elective product for flameproofing clear unfilled PA articles with halogen free additive. As sole additive at a concentration ranging from 8 to 12% w, it is in position to achieve high demanding applications (UL 94 V0) in nylons (PA66 and PA6) showing also good retention of tensile strength properties and significant increase of tensile modulus. It is also effective in polyesters, PU foams, epoxy resins, styrenics, polyolefins and back side coatings, in combination with suitable coagents. Other applications: lubricants and adhesion agents.
- Processing Instructions
Safest MC 25 is endued with high thermal stability, therefore it is in position to overcome both extrusion and injection moulding processing conditions typical of engineering plastics. In order to maximize the flame proofing effect of the product, the compounding processes are generally carried out on corotating twin screw extruders by feeding the product in the main hopper and using predried polymers, if necessary. Can also be used in single screw extruders, internal batch mixers (Bandbury) and roll mills. Safest MC 25 does not interact with the common processing additives like: stabilisers, crosslinking agents, processing aids, inorganic fillers, pigments, etc.
