Technical data

Typical values for the standard version. Tolerances and test methods are listed in the TDS.

An APP-based intumescent package that chars instead of dripping. No halogen, no antimony, low smoke density. Formulated for PP homopolymer and copolymer used in conduit, housings and cable compounds.

How to read these figures

Typical values, for reference only — not a specification and not part of any contract. What binds us is the specification confirmed in writing on your order, and where a sample has been approved, that sample governs. Send us your resin, process and target value and we will confirm the exact figure before you set a production parameter.

The table above describes the grade family. The figures for your lot are on the COA that travels with it, and the release value is measured on that batch.

Applications

Where it gets used

If your part is not listed, send a drawing or a photo — we have probably run something close.

Electrical conduit

V-0 without halogen, low smoke in a fire.

Switch and socket housings

Keeps colour stability at 220 °C.

Cable compound

Passes IEC 60332-1 vertical burn.

Packaging & delivery

FAQ

Two things people ask

Does it need a synergist?

No. The char former and acid source are in the same pellet. Adding a separate synergist usually hurts the balance.

Is the V-0 rating guaranteed?

It is a typical result in homo PP at 1.6 mm, not a certificate. UL94 depends on your section thickness, colour and processing, so we confirm it on a trial lot before you set the specification.
