Halogen-Free Flame Retardant Products Applications and Advantages

Halogen-Free Flame Retardant Products Applications and Advantages

Halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR) products are widely used in industries with high environmental and safety requirements. Below are common HFFR products and their applications:

1. Electronics & Electrical Products

• Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): Use halogen-free flame-retardant epoxy or polyimide resins.
• Wires & Cables: Insulation and sheathing made of HFFR materials (e.g., polyolefin, EVA).
• Connectors/Sockets: Flame-retardant engineering plastics like nylon (PA) or PBT.
• Electronic Device Housings: Laptop casings, phone chargers, etc., often use flame-retardant PC/ABS blends.

2. Construction & Building Materials

• Flame-Retardant Insulation: Halogen-free polyurethane foam, phenolic foam.
• Fire-Resistant Coatings: Water-based or solvent-free HFFR coatings.
• Cable Trays/Pipes: HFFR PVC or polyolefin materials.
• Decorative Materials: Flame-retardant wallpapers, halogen-free carpets.

3. Automotive & Transportation

• Automotive Wiring Harnesses: HFFR polyolefin or cross-linked polyethylene (XLPO).
• Interior Materials: Seat fabrics, dashboards using flame-retardant PP or polyester fibers.
• Battery Components: EV battery housings (e.g., flame-retardant PC, PA66).

4. Home Furnishings & Textiles

• Flame-Retardant Furniture: Sofa cushions (HFFR foam), curtains (flame-retardant polyester).
• Children’s Products: Flame-retardant toys, stroller fabrics (compliant with EN71-3, GB31701).
• Mattresses/Bedding: Halogen-free memory foam or latex.

5. New Energy & Power Systems

• Photovoltaic Components: Backsheets made of HFFR PET or fluoropolymers.
• Energy Storage Systems: Lithium battery separators, flame-retardant enclosures.
• Charging Stations: Housings and internal components with HFFR materials.

6. Aerospace & Military

• Aircraft Interiors: Lightweight flame-retardant materials (e.g., modified epoxy resins).
• Military Equipment: Flame-retardant protective clothing, cables, composites.

7. Packaging Materials

• High-End Electronics Packaging: HFFR foam or paper-based materials (e.g., halogen-free EPE foam).

Common Halogen-Free Flame Retardant Types

• Phosphorus-Based: Ammonium polyphosphate (APP), phosphates.
• Nitrogen-Based: Melamine and its derivatives.
• Inorganic Fillers: Aluminum hydroxide (ATH), magnesium hydroxide (MH), borates.
• Silicone-Based: Silicone compounds.

Advantages of Halogen-Free Flame Retardant Products

• Eco-Friendly: Free from halogens (e.g., bromine, chlorine), reducing toxic emissions (dioxins, hydrogen halides).
• Regulatory Compliance: Meets RoHS, REACH, IEC 61249-2-21 (halogen-free standard), UL 94 V-0.
• Safety: Low smoke and corrosion, suitable for confined spaces (e.g., subways, tunnels).
