In order to strictly comply with the European Union's "Enforcement Directive on the Prohibition of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment" and other environmental regulations, electronic product manufacturers are actively reducing the use of halide additives in their products. For this purpose, SABIC Innovative Plastics launched EFR735 film at the 2008 Chinaplas Expo, which is the company's first thermoplastic film with non-brominated and chlorinated flame retardants in production. The new EFR film also provides excellent performance in a relatively thin thickness, in line with the current trend of compactness and lightness.
According to reports, the first non-halogenated flame-retardant film has a double meaning: it can not only help electronic products customers produce environmentally-friendly products, but also expand the company's environmental protection material product portfolio. Sabine Innovative Plastics, head of film products, said: 'Large electronics manufacturers have a good sense of environmental protection, in their products and production processes to limit or prohibit the use of potentially harmful substances. We believe EFR735 film will help customers achieve this goal more easily and benefit from the better performance and thinner thickness of the film. '
EFR735 film is ideal for shielded and insulated separators, printed circuit boards, die-cut separators and insulation boards, labels, and overlays. It is also suitable for computers, laptops, mobile phones, mobile devices, battery packs, DVD players, printers, devices, audio/video devices, and many other adapters for electrical and electronic equipment.
According to the UL94 test results, the product provides VTM-0 flame retardancy with a thickness of 152 microns without the use of potentially harmful halide additives. It also provides much better puncture resistance and tensile strength than flame retardant polypropylene (FRPP). Its puncture resistance is 3 times that of flame retardant PP, its tensile strength is 2 times that of flame retardant PP, and it can Adapt to high temperature environment. In addition, the standard film of SABIC Innovative Plastics is 3 times more resistant to shrinkage than flame retardant PP. The product also has low moisture absorption, high thermoplasticity, and excellent dielectric strength. And the product EFR735 film process is simple, can be used thermoplastic, embossing, edge cutting, cutting lines and bending processes.
