Reach high FR performance at low loadings with Budit® 3167

The table below demonstrates that with a lower loading in PP, Budit® 3167 allows to reach excellent flame retardancy properties compared to standard intumescent systems such as Pentaerythrit and Melamine:
 

Flame Retardant	Loading in PP [%]	UL 94 (1,6 mm)	LOI[%]	System	TG (2% weight loss) (°C)
ATH	60	V-2	28	Metal hydroxide	~ 250
APP/Penta/Melamine	30	V-0	30	APP / Synergist	235
Budit® 3157	25	V-0	33	APP / Synergist	269
Budit® 3167	20	V-0	33	APP / Synergist	330

Thanks to its outstanding efficiency, Budit® 3167 helps keeping very good mechanical properties and has a very limited impact on processability.
