Why Flame Retardant ABS?
Standard ABS is widely used because it provides practical processing behavior, good surface quality and useful impact performance for injection-molded parts.
Electrical, electronics and energy applications may require improved flame resistance. FR ABS combines ABS processing characteristics with flame-retardant performance for molded housings and technical components.
YicaiPlas supports project-specific review for flame rating targets, processing needs, color requirements and application conditions.
