Self-extinguishing
compounds
Flame retardant additives are added to polymers
to prevent the development of fire, to interrupt
or to slow down combustion processes, and in this
way protect lives, property and the environment.
These additives are generally classified in two
categories: halogenates and non-halogenates.
LATI probably has one the vastest ranges of self-extinguishing
products which covers a large spectrum of thermoplastic
resins, from polyolefins to PEEK. Some polymers
are basically self-extinguishing e.g. PEEK, LCP,
PSU, PPSU, PES, PPS, while for others it is necessary
to add flame-retardant and synergic additives
e.g. PP, PA, PBT, ABS, PPA, SPS and others.
90% of LATI's Self-extinguishing products are
certified UL and in general the self-extinguishing
compounds comply with the requirements of UL94
(flame resistance), of UL746B (thermal resistance)
and of UL746A (electrical properties).
Halogen-free Self-extinguishers:
In response to the test guidelines concerning
halogen-free self-extinguishing Compounds, LATI
has created a series of innovative products.
In addition, these products satisfy the requirements
of the recently modified directive IEC 60335-1
(4th Edition) relative to electrical equipment
which is not monitored in the most critical
conditions as regards fire hazards. These involve:
GWFI >= 850°C, GWIT >=775°C, Heat
resistance (balling identation test) >= 125°C
and Tracking Resistance (CTI) >= 250 V.
