Halogen-free, nom. 30% glass-fiber reinforced, flame retardant (UL94 V-0 @ 0.4mm) grade with partially biogenic feedstocks
Celanex XFR 6842 GF30 ECO-B is a halogen and antimony free flame retardant (V-0 @ 0.4 mm) 26% glass reinforced PBT grade with good processability and no corrosive emissions during processing. It is suitable for parts requiring enhanced tracking resistance, toughness, and flame retardancy at < 0.75 mm wall thickness and it is well suited for electrical connector applications where its UL approved 50% regrind use capability allows maximum use of purchased product. Further, is has an excellent GWIT rating of >=775°C at all thicknesses including a VDE listing at 0.4 and 0.8mm for all colors. The product is WEEE and RoHS compliant. Celanex ECO-B is a PBT with the same properties and performance as standard grades, but produced with sustainability in mind. Using a mass-balance approach, 40% of biogenic feedstocks are used to offset the use of fossil-based raw materials and decrease greenhouse gas emissions in the production of the PBT base resin as well as the major flame retardant additive. The process is audited and certified according to the ISCC+ certification mass balance approach.
