Consistent pricing: Raw materials for the FR composite panel (core, laminate, FR components, etc.) are readily available and are rather stable in terms of price. We kept these exact pain points in mind when designing Hammerhead FR panels. We designed our Hammerhead FR composite panels to keep pace with innovation’s demands.

The results showed the Avient material outperformed typical FR PC/ABS and had an added bonus: a UL yellow card V0 flammability rating for all colors and some thicknesses.* Avient also used its custom color matching capabilities to provide pre-colored material that simplified molding, while the material’s wide processing window helped accommodate a variety of molding environments. * V0 @ 1.5 and 3.0mm FR PC/ABS failed 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 140% Virex TB Clorox Broad Spectrum CaviCide SaniCloth Plus wipes FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC / ABS (1.0% Strain) FR PC / ABS (1.5% Strain) Trilliant HC (1.0% strain) Trilliant HC (1.5% strain) FR PC/ABS failed 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 140% Virex TB Clorox Broad Spectrum CaviCide SaniCloth Plus wipes FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC / ABS (1.0% Strain) FR PC / ABS (1.5% Strain) Trilliant HC (1.0% strain) Trilliant HC (1.5% strain) TENSILE STRENGTH RETENTION AFTER 7 DAYS EXPOSURE Both materials were tested according to ASTM D543 for 7 days.

Maxxam™ FR FLAME RETARDANT POLYOLEFIN FORMULATIONS PROCESSING GUIDE Injection Molding Parameters Maxxam™ FR flame retardant polyolefin formulations are engineered to meet stringent flammability performance requirements. Available in both halogen and non-halogen products, including grades with UL Yellow Card rating, Maxxam FR products can be customized for specific performance needs. Follow up by purging machine with general purpose PP • Residence time should not exceed 5 minutes for Maxxam FR products • General ventilation is suggested Shut Down • Purge the equipment with a general purpose PP • All tooling and equipment must be free of any residual Maxxam FR upon shut down • Continue generating parts made from the natural PP until clear • Wipe down tool steel with mold cleaner • When using a hot runner system, care must be taken to remove residual product from the manifold MOLD DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Cold Slug Wells • Place cold slug wells at the base of the sprue to capture the cold material first emerging from the nozzle • Place cold slug wells at every 90° bend in the runner system • Well depths approximately 2–3 times the diameter of the runner provide best results Draft Angle • Draft angle should be 1/2°–1° per side.
