One of the group’s major goals is sustainability, in line with the new upcoming regulations of Chemical Strategy for Sustainability (CSS). This is why Gabriel-Chemie has introduced a new range of FR products for Polypropylene (PP). The range includes more sustainable formulations of classic halogenated solutions, but is also extended with the addition of new halogen-free solutions and even zero-halogen solutions. The products can be used in many applications ranging from electrical cable conduits to junction boxes, fuses and distribution boards for conventional and photovoltaic applications.
Applications
Thick-walled articles made of PP
Injection moulded articles
Blow moulded articles
Pipes
flame retardant
Across multiple recycling loops
The internal tests have successfully confirmed the benefits of using zero-halogen masterbatches to enhance the recyclability of the end product, in accordance with the requirements of the Eco-Design regulation. This is a very crucial aspect as it has been estimated that over 80% of the environmentally-related impacts of products are determined during the product design phase.
The new zero-halogen masterbatches elevate the value of recycled material at the end of the product's lifecycle and enable the recycled material to maintain its flame retardant properties for a new generation of products.
