Flammability of Arnite®

Electrical equipment is governed by strict regulatory standards that exist to ensure safety. Arnite is extensively used for electrical and electronic equipment and the Arnite portfolio covers a wide range of flame-retardant grades, both unreinforced and glass fiber reinforced to meet these demanding standards.

Arnite is available in grades with UL94 V-0 rating at 1.5mm and 0.75 mm. The ‘S’-grades (V-0 at 1.5 mm) can be used in the majority of applications, whereas the ‘SF’-grades (V-0 at 0.75 mm) are high performance grades that can be used when there are more severe property demands. These grades are UL listed for all color variants, including 50% regrind. They also have very high Comparative Tracking Index (CTI), excellent flow properties, good toughness, and high RTI values.
The limiting oxygen index (LOI) of unmodified Arnite T (PBT) is 18, while that of unmodified Arnite A (PET) is 21.
