FR nylons & PBTs are tailored for E/E market. (Keeping up with Materials).


Bayer Corp. in Pittsburgh is introducing flame-retardant nylon and PET compounds from Germany to U.S. electrical/electronic markets. The product line includes grades of nylon 6 and 66 and halogen-free PETs.

Two 30% glass-reinforced nylons containing organic bromine bromine (brō`mēn, –mĭn) [Gr.,=stench], volatile, liquid chemical element; symbol Br; at. no. 35; at. wt. 79.904; m.p. –7.2°C;; b.p. 58.78°C;; sp. gr. of liquid 3.12 at 20°C;; density of vapor 7.  additives achieve FR ratings of UL 94V-0 at 0.8 mm. They are Durethan DP 2-1851/30 nylon 6 and DP 2-2851/30 H1.0 nylon 66. Both achieve the highest rating in glow-wire tests, Bayer says. They also have good electrical properties, including a 400-v CTI (Computer Telephone Integration) Combining data with voice systems in order to enhance telephone services. For example, automatic number identification (ANI) allows a caller's records to be retrieved from the database while the call is routed to the appropriate party. . DP 2-2851/30 reportedly also generates low smoke, suiting it to transportation seating and construction uses.

New non-halogenated FR Pocan grades are DP 4035, a 30%-glass PET/PET, and DP2004 unreinforced PBT PBT Provider Backbone Transport (networking technology adding determinism to ethernet)

. Both achieve UL 94V-2 and perform well on wire-glow tests, Bayer says. DP 4035 reportedly displays arc resistance and hot-wire ignition ignition, apparatus for igniting a combustible mixture. The German engineer Nikolaus A. Otto, in his first gas engine, used flame ignition; another method was heating a metal tube to incandescence.  performance exceeding those for comparable halogenated halogenated
