Product Description
The key features of Flame Retardant polycarbonate sheets include:
Improved Flammability Resistance:
The sheets contain flame retardant additives that make them more difficult to ignite and slow the spread of flames.
They are designed to meet stringent fire safety standards and building codes.
Reduced Smoke and Toxicity:
During a fire, FR polycarbonate emits lower levels of smoke and toxic fumes compared to standard polycarbonate.
This helps maintain visibility and air quality, facilitating safer emergency evacuation.
Structural Integrity:
The flame retardant formulation helps the sheets maintain their structural integrity for longer periods under fire conditions.
This provides more time for people to evacuate and for emergency responders to intervene.
Mechanical Properties:
Flame Retardant polycarbonate sheets retain the excellent impact resistance, dimensional stability, and optical clarity of standard polycarbonate.
They can be fabricated using similar techniques like cutting, drilling, thermoforming, etc.
Building and construction (glazing, partitions, roofing)
Transportation (bus/train windows, aircraft interiors)
Electrical enclosures and control panels
Furnishings and fixtures in commercial/public spaces
The specific flame retardant additives and performance ratings can vary depending on the manufacturer and target application requirements, often meeting standards such as UL94, ASTM E84, or EN 13501.

Production Process
The production of fire-retardant polycarbonate materials involves a carefully controlled and regulated process to ensure the desired level of flame resistance. This process typically includes the following key steps:
Raw Material Preparation:
The primary raw materials for fire-retardant polycarbonate production include polycarbonate monomers, such as methyl methacrylate, and various fire-retardant additives.
The raw materials are carefully selected and measured to achieve the required composition and properties of the final polycarbonate product.
Polymerization:
The polycarbonate monomers and fire-retardant additives are subjected to a polymerization process, often using a free-radical initiated method.
This process involves the use of initiators, catalysts, and controlled temperature and pressure conditions to facilitate the formation of high-molecular-weight polycarbonate polymers.
Compounding and Extrusion:
The polymerized polycarbonate material is then compounded with additional fire-retardant additives, such as halogenated compounds, phosphorus-based compounds, or inorganic fillers.
The compounded material is then fed into an extruder, where it is heated, melted, and homogenized to ensure a uniform distribution of the fire-retardant additives.
Sheet or Panel Forming:
The molten, fire-retardant polycarbonate compound is then extruded or cast into sheets or panels of the desired thickness and dimensions.
This process may involve the use of specialized equipment, such as calendar rolls or casting tables, to achieve the required surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
