Special Report from Michigan Chemical Michigan announces new flame retardant with reduced migration characteristics
«£
Michigan's new flame retardant called fireMaster® BP6 (Hexabromobiphenyl) is an ideal candidate for many thermoplastic systems. BP6 processes at high temperatures without sublima tion, and is unreactive in most polymers. It is both waterinsoluble and heat-stable. It furnishes a high bromine content in the end product—economically. And it has shown reduced migration as compared with other brominated aromatics, thus assuring long-term flame re tardant effects. It is now available in commercial quan tities for many polymer applications* including: ABS, SAN, polyolefins, polycarbonates, ΡΡΟ, nylon, PVC. It can also be used in phenolics, polyesters, epoxies, fabrics, fibers.
HEXABROMOBIPHENYL TYPICAL PROPERTIES Bromine (%) 75 Particle size (microns) less than 5 Melting Range (°C) 112-136 Bulk Density (g/ml) 0.73 If you have a product you'd like to test with BP6, please ask for samples. We'll be happy to provide them. Just write to us, or send in the request form below.
Color literature now available on related fireMaster products fireMaster BP6 is the latest addition to Michigan's broad line of flame retardant chemicals. Other products include T23P, LV-T23P, T13P, T33P, PHT4, BP4A, and HHP. These products are now widely used in the manu facture of flame retardant acrylics, cellulose acetates, polyurethanes, polyesters, epoxies, and many other applications.
