3M™ Flame Retardant Additive FR-2025 is an additive for polycarbonate which can be used effectively at low usage levels. FR-2025 flame retardant additive can be formulated to produce optically-clear, haze-free grades of polycarbonate for extrusion and molding. It’s a non-brominated, non-chlorinated additive.

3M™ Flame Retardant Additive FR 2025 is an additive for polycarbonate which can be used effectively at low usage levels. FR 2025 flame retardant additive can be formulated to produce optically clear, haze free grades of polycarbonate for extrusion and molding. It’s a non brominated, non chlorinated additive. In addition, it is chemically and thermally stable up to 450°C.

It is often use synergistically with fibrillating PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) to achieve V 0 in UL 94 rating. FR 2025 has been found to be effective as a flame retardant without the use of synergists. For most effective incorporation it is recommended that the additive be initially dispersed into a 10% or more masterbatch and then compounded into the final plastic blend.
