Applications

As a reactive flame retardant, SAYTEX CP-2000 flame retardant finds particular application in epoxy, vinyl esters and polycarbonate systems. As an additive flame retardant, SAYTEX CP-2000 flame retardant is widely used in ABS.

Features

SAYTEX CP-2000 flame retardant is a highly pure flame retardant containing very stable aromatic bromine. It can be used as a reactive or additive flame retardant. As a reactive flame retardant, SAYTEX CP-2000 flame retardant finds particular application as a reactive monomer in epoxy and polycarbonate polymers. It is very cost-effective and once reacted, it is permanent and non-migrating. SAYTEX CP-2000 flame retardant is a major component in epoxy oligomers used as additives for styrenic polymers and many engineering thermoplastics. Properties of note are improved polymer viscosity and UV resistance. As an additive flame retardant, SAYTEX CP-2000 flame retardant is widely used in ABS. It melt blends into these systems, resulting in excellent processability, impact strength and moderate-range UV stability. SAYTEX CP-2000 flame retardant is generally used with a synergist such as antimony oxide for maximum flame retardant performance.
