Flame retardant PC/ABS blends for novel low gloss medical applications

摘要

Flame retardant (FR) PC/ABS blends find applications in the medical housings market owing to their superior processability and a fine balance between the primary requirements of flammability performance, mechanical properties and chemical resistance to hospital cleaners. In recent times, low part-surface gloss is emerging as an important requirement for such applications. This manuscript showcases a new chlorine-bromine free FR PC/ABS blend which meets these demanding requirements for extrusion and thermoforming applications.
