Flame Retardant Materials for Electronic Housing Molds

Electronic housings often require flame retardant (FR) materials to meet UL 94 V-0 or V-1 ratings. Common FR materials include: PC/ABS FR grades, PA66 with halogen-free FR additives, PBT FR grades, and PC FR for transparent applications. FR additives can affect mold design: they may reduce flowability, increase mold wear, and require higher processing temperatures. Yinzan Technology recommends material-specific mold design adjustments for FR plastics to ensure optimal part quality and tool life.
