Comparison of Halogen And Microencapsulated Red Phosphorus Flame Retardants for Wire & Cable

The most commonly used flame retardants(FR) in cables and wires are halogen FR, such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and chlorinated paraffins.

Some of the disadvantages of halogen FR include their persistence in the environment, potential toxicity to humans and wildlife, and their tendency to produce toxic byproducts when they burn. Additionally, some non-halogen alternatives may not provide the same level of fire protection as their halogen counterparts.

While using microcapsule-coated red phosphorus(MRP) FR for wire and cable, is with the following advantages:

1. High FR efficiency: MRP FR can increase the FR efficiency with low addition.

2. Long-lasting protection: The microcapsules provide a protective barrier around the red phosphorus particles, which helps to prevent them from leaching out over time.

3. Reduced environmental impact: Red phosphorus is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional halogen FR, which can be harmful to human health and the environment. The microcapsule coating also helps to prevent the release of the red phosphorus into the environment.

4. Improved processing: MRP FR can be easily incorporated into the wire or cable manufacturing process, without compromising the mechanical or electrical properties of the final product.

5. Cost-effective: MRP FR are cost-effective compared to halogen FR.

6. Versatility: MRP FR can be used in a variety of wire and cable applications, including power cables, data cables, and telecom cables.

7. Regulatory compliance: MRP FR comply with the EU's REACH regulation and RoHS directives.

Overall, MRP FR offer a promising solution for improving the safety, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and regulatory compliance of wire and cable products.

The FRP-950 Yinsu company supplies is with high content and fine particles, it can also reduce surface pitting on the wire and cables.
