Flame-retardant polypropylene compound (BATOLEN) is a type of engineering thermoplastic designed to enhance the thermal resistance of polypropylene for use in plastic injection molding. This type of compound is available in both halogenated and non-halogenated flame-retardant versions. Key features of flame-retardant polypropylene compounds include the retention of properties and dimensional stability at high temperatures, flame resistance, and good chemical resistance. This compound is used to manufacture flame-retardant components in the electrical and electronics, automotive, and household appliance industries. The knowledge-based company Baspar Tose’e Davam Shimi is capable of designing and producing various flame-retardant polypropylene compounds tailored to meet the diverse needs of its customers, in addition to the existing grades.
Flame-retardant polypropylene compounds are among the most widely used materials in engineering industries due to their excellent resistance to high temperatures and non-flammability. These compounds have an oxygen index of 36% and meet the UL 94 flammability standard, ranging from V-2 to V-0, along with the Glow Wire standard approval at 960 degrees Celsius, making them particularly important for use in flammable environments. Today, the utilization of flame-resistant plastics is growing due to their durability and long-term retention of properties. Therefore, the knowledge-based company, Baspar Tose’e Davam Shimi, is capable of designing and producing various halogen-free and halogenated flame-retardant polypropylene compounds using the latest technologies to enhance safety and reduce the risk of damage in ignitable surroundings.
Flame-retardant engineering polypropylene compounds are available in a range of colors, including black, for sale in both domestic and international markets. The engineers at Baspar Tose’e Davam Shimi are constantly working to provide the most suitable grades of flame-retardant polypropylene compounds for the production of prefabricated and final parts through plastic injection molding to consumers and engineers in the manufacturing sectors. It is also worth mentioning that designing and producing formulations tailored to customer specifications, along with consulting and offering the best process conditions, are additional services provided by Baspar Tose’e Davam Shimi, carried out by the company's research and development team. Below are some of the properties of flame-retardant polypropylene compounds.
