Description

Melamine Cyanurate is a halogen-free nitrogen-based flame retardant synergist, widely recognized for its high efficiency and environmental profile. This compound is critical for enhancing the fire safety of engineering plastics and polymers without compromising their mechanical properties. It is an essential additive for manufacturers in the electronics, automotive, and construction industries seeking to meet stringent safety and regulatory standards.

Application

• Primary flame retardant synergist in polyamide (PA6, PA66) and polypropylene (PP) compounds.
• Used in electrical and electronic components such as connectors, housings, and circuit breakers.
• Enhances fire resistance in automotive parts, including under-the-hood components and battery casings.
• Formulation additive for flame-retardant coatings and wire & cable insulation materials.
• Applied in engineering plastics for construction materials and household appliances.
• Used in combination with other flame retardants to achieve specific UL94 ratings (e.g., V-0).
