HC Plastics News: LANXESS is expanding its line of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)-based halogen-free flame retardant compounds to include its outstanding fire resistance in the glow wire test. The first new product is a reinforced composite with a 25% glass fiber content. There are plans to bring trial products to market in the short term. LANXESS expands product range of halogen-free flame retardant PBT compounds Alexander Radeck, application development specialist for the LANXESS High Performance Materials (HPM) business unit, explains: "Because of the high glow wire resistance, this PBT material has great potential for application in unattended household appliances. In addition, we In the electrical and electronic components of electric vehicles, for example in the field of battery charging, I have seen good application opportunities." The new PBT material is certified by the German VDE test and certification body GmbH (VDEPrüf-und Zertifizierungsinstitut GmbH) with a GWIT value of 775 ° C and a wall thickness of 0.4 to 3.0 mm (glow wire light-off temperature, IEC 60695-2-13). It also achieved good results in the glow wire test of IEC60695-2-11 finished parts. “Therefore, we believe that this material will perform well in the more stringent IEC60335-1 unmanned home appliance finished parts glow wire test and can be used in parts of washing machines, dishwashers and tumble dryers. In applications, this compound has higher resistance to electrical traces than halogen-containing flame retardant materials."
