The majority of plastic flame retardants are halogen-based. Everyone is familiar with the chemical elements chlorine, bromine, and iodine, which are all part of the halogen family. Although halogenated flame retardants are very effective, it has been established that halogen-free flame retardants are safer for both people and the environment. As a result, numerous international rules that specifically mandate the use of halogen-free flame retardants in items made of plastic have been implemented.
A heat stabiliser for nylons used in electrical and electronic (E&E) applications that is metal and halogen free is said to offer long-lasting protection. Heat stabilisers are used in applications as well as during production to stop the deterioration of polymers by heat. They are frequently used, for instance, in PVC composites. Heat stabilisers work by halting thermal oxidation or by destroying the oxidation’s broken-down byproducts.
These flame retardant chemicals are proliferating and, in many situations, slowly displacing halogenated flame retardants.
The Global Halogen-Free Heat Stabiliser market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Bruggolen TP-H2062 is a novel metal and halide free heat stabiliser for polyamides that was created with E&E applications in mind. It provides sustained protection in a temperature range of 120 °C to 170 °C. It inhibits contact corrosion while also maintaining the compounds’ high mechanical qualities even after prolonged ageing by providing electrically neutral stability.
TP-H2062 is offered as a masterbatch that is extremely dispersible and dust-free. Its dosage can be changed depending on the application to accommodate a variety of temperature ranges and profiles. Computers that service the E&E industry have been looking for a heat stabilising additive devoid of metals and halides for a long time to protect the integrity of polyamide components at high temperatures as well as electrical properties like CTI without producing electrical corrosion.
The disadvantages of both traditional copper iodide and phenolic-based antioxidants are now solved with Bruggolen TP-H2062. The first option provides improved long-term protection for polyamides up to 180°C, but it also contains halides that might encourage electrical corrosion and lead to component failure.
This is especially important for sensitive sensors, connections, and applications of a similar nature. With phenolic-based additive packages, this is not the case, but their ability to provide protection begins to rapidly decline at temperatures over 120 °C and ceases to function entirely at 150 °C.
