Application Areas

01

PFA

PS200

DOWNLOAD DATA SHEET
Highly flame retardant offering thermal and fire protection with continuous service possible up to 150-200°C (dry), depending on application. Unique ability to cope with high pressures and rapid temperature excursions >500-1000°C which are typical of a Li-ion battery thermal runaway. Meets fire protection and insulation standards ISO 2685 and AC 20-135, Revised 1990.

FR308

DOWNLOAD DATA SHEET
Highly flame retardant with exceptional Flame, Smoke and Toxicity (FST) and heat release rate (HRR) performance. CS 25.853 compliant for broad range of interiors applications including overhead bins, ceiling and floor panels, seat backs, galleys, ducts etc. Note: All SHD systems are hot melt systems, with very little or no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), so prepreg materials are without the SHE concerns associated with traditional phenolic resins (formaldehyde).
