Performance FR compounds for TPE
Kraiburg’s new non-halogenated FR compounds for TPE’s: material performance, rail standard EN 45545-2 compliance. The flame retardant TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) compounds achieve UL 94 V-0 @ 1.5 mm and EN 45545-2 R22 HL3 and R23 HL3 fire performance with low smoke and low toxic gas in fire. The compounds include soft and elastic materials offering excellent performance in sealing applications up to 70°C. Material properties of the compounds also include improved tear resistance, compression set values and processing behaviour in injection moulding and extrusion. Excellent adhesion to polypropylene enables use in multi-component parts. The non-halogenated solutions also benefit from easier end-of-life management. Kraiburg TPE GmbH & Co. KG is a leader in specialist and industrial TPEs.
