Flame retardant (FR) polycarbonate (PC) is a specialized type of polycarbonate plastic designed to resist ignition and limit the spread of flames in the event of a fire. It achieves its flame-resistant properties through the addition of specific additives and compounds, making it a valuable material for applications where fire safety is a top priority.

The primary benefit of flame retardant polycarbonate is its capacity to inhibit the ignition and reduce the propagation of flames. It possesses self-extinguishing properties, meaning it ceases to burn once the flame source is removed, limiting fire damage. Additionally, it typically generates less smoke and fewer toxic fumes during combustion, enhancing safety and visibility in emergency situations.

Flame retardant polycarbonate retains the intrinsic qualities of standard polycarbonate, such as durability, impact resistance, and dimensional stability.

The applications of flame retardant polycarbonate are diverse and essential for industries with fire safety concerns. It is widely used in the electrical and electronics sector for components like connectors and device housings. In the automotive industry, it finds use in battery casings and ignition system components. Construction materials like roofing and cladding benefit from its fire resistance. Aircraft interior components in aerospace rely on it to meet stringent flammability standards. The medical field uses it for ensuring safety in medical equipment. Flame retardant polycarbonate is also employed in transportation, consumer goods, and various other applications where fire safety is a critical consideration. Its self-extinguishing properties and reduced smoke and toxic gas emissions make it a pivotal choice for environments and products that require protection against fire hazards.
