Choosing the Right Brominated Flame Retardant for PET & PBT
For manufacturers working with Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), achieving stringent fire safety standards is paramount. Among the effective solutions available, brominated flame retardants, particularly Brominated Epoxy Oligomers (BEOs), stand out for their performance. If you are looking to buy BEO, understanding its benefits and applications is crucial.
BEOs, like the high-quality product offered by NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., are polymeric flame retardants characterized by their high bromine content, typically ranging from 51-53%. This high concentration of bromine is the primary reason for their exceptional flame-retardant efficacy. When exposed to heat, BEOs release bromine radicals that interfere with the combustion process in the gas phase. These radicals effectively quench the high-energy radicals that propagate the fire, thereby interrupting the exothermic chain reaction and suppressing flames. This mechanism makes them highly efficient, often requiring lower loadings compared to other flame retardant types.
A significant advantage of using BEOs in PET and PBT applications is their excellent thermal stability and UV resistance. Polyester resins are often processed at elevated temperatures, and a flame retardant must withstand these conditions without significant degradation. BEOs exhibit high decomposition temperatures, ensuring they remain effective throughout the processing cycle. Furthermore, their good UV resistance contributes to the material's longevity and prevents discoloration or degradation when exposed to sunlight, a vital consideration for outdoor or long-exposure applications.
When sourcing these materials, it is important to consider characteristics such as non-blooming properties and good processability. Blooming, or the migration of additives to the surface of the plastic, can negatively affect the appearance and mechanical properties of the final product. BEOs, due to their oligomeric nature (medium-length polymer chains), have a reduced tendency to migrate compared to smaller molecule flame retardants. This property is highly valued by product formulators. As a reputable supplier in China, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that our BEO product offers excellent compatibility and disperses well within the polymer matrix, facilitating smooth manufacturing operations.
