KRAIBURG TPE has extensive experience in the development of TPEs with halogen-free flame retardant properties.

A product series with a V-0 nonflammability classification at wall thicknesses of 1.5mm in accordance with UL standard 94 V-0 has recently been introduced for multi-component applications with polypropylene. A further series with V-0 classification at 3mm has been a successful part of the product line.

  • Self-extinguishing, no release of burning droplets
  • Adhesion to PP
  • In-process recycling possible
  • Precoloration in all colors
  • No silicones added
  • No interaction with copper
  • Temperature stability up to 85 °C
  • Excellent Glow Wire Flammability Index - GWFI [°C / mm] 960 / 2.1

KRAIBURG TPE offers solely halogen-free, flame retardant TPEs which fulfil highest fire protection standards such as UL94V0 and GWFI. We can offer those TPEs with all-color listings according to UL94V0. Moreover our FR2 series is certified according to EN45545 R22/R23 HL3.

Therefore, it meets the highest requirements with respect to smoke density, toxicity and limited oxygen index to be used in train applications. Another general advantage of our halogen-free TPEs is that they don’t require special waste treatment and can be recycled.
