Flame retardants for polyamides - new developments and processing concerns

摘要

Polyamides are now widely found in a variety of high performance plastics applications in automotive, electrical and electronic and other industrial markets, for instance. Flame retardants play an increasingly important role in extending the reach of polyamides in these areas. Jennifer Markarian examines some of the issues that need to be taken into account when making polyamide compounds flame retardant.
