Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives
PTFE-free and Non-halogen for Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is a material of choice for E&E
products as it provides very good impact strength,
dimensional stability, and heat resistance.Some
applications require the use of flame-retardant
solutions to increase safety and ensure compliance
with fire hazard standards.
Provided in the form of additive concentrates, they
can be combined with colors and other additives
for a solution tailored to customers’ needs.
