Flame retardant/fire resistant plastic materials are widely used in electrical appliances. At present, the penetration rate of home appliances has been greatly increased, the industry competition is more intense, and the safety issue is also more and more attention. In order to make electrical appliances refractory to fire or self-extinguishing from fire, more and more plastic particles are added to flame retardants, and the most widely used are flame retardant ABS and flame retardant PC/ABS. What is the difference between flame-retardant ABS and flame-retardant PC/ABS?

Comparison of flame retardant ABS D1200(the most sold specification) and flame retardant PCABS 550K:

1.Combustion performance

Flame retardant ABS D1200 flame retardant 2.5mm V0, flame retardant PCABS550K flame retardant 1.5mm V0, obviously flame retardant PCABS550K higher flame retardant;

2. Processing differences

Flame retardant ABS D1200 will produce large smoke during the processing (no good for the human body, more clearly is bad), and the flame retardant will produce acid gas corrosion injection molding machine screw and mold, flame retardant PCABS550K does not have this problem;

3. Strength difference

Flame retardant ABSD1200 tensile strength 38, impact strength 19; Flame retardant PCABS 550K tensile light 60, impact strength 45, which is high and low at a glance.

Many customers reflect that the cost of using flame retardant ABS is too high, which is not unsolvable. Small edition suggests that the most appropriate is to use flame retardant PCAB550K from the design, it has such a high strength, compared with flame retardant ABSD1200 tensile 50%, high impact 130%, the design thickness can be moderately low, it will have so high cost? Notice that the ratio is almost the same. And to know the same flame retardant requirements V0, the use of PCABS 550K can be achieved, while the flame retardant ABS 1200 must be 2.5mm.
