Avient Unveils PTFE-Free and Non-Halogen Flame Retardants for Polycarbonate at Fakuma 2023   NEW Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives, PTFE-Free and Non-Halogen for Polycarbonate – These new additives are formulated without PTFE, which is part of per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS). Suitable for various polycarbonates, including recycled grades, these flame-retardant additives help achieve GWFI temperatures up to 960°C according to IEC 60695-2-12 testing protocols (link to full press release above).

CRTM™ (continuous resin transfer molding) panels are high quality composite sandwich panels with tailored, multi-axial fiber reinforcements, high-fiber volume contents and very low void content. Laminate skin face-sheets are also available with continuous fiberglass and/or carbon fiber reinforced polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy or custom resins. This is possible because, unlike a pultrusion process where the resin is applied to the fiber before it enters the die, with CRTM the resin is injected directly into the die for better control of fiber alignment and resin kinetics.
