PC/ABS FR - UL 94 V0 Flame Retardant

Combined with a halogen free flame retardant, parts printed with Ultrafuse® PC/ABS FR feature great tensile and impact strength, higher thermal resistance than ABS and can fulfill the requirements of the UL94 V-0 standard.

Advantages:

• High strength

• Flame retardant

• Halogen free

Disadvantages:

• Cost

• Limited color selection

• Requires fume extraction

When to use:

Our choice: BASF Ultrafuse® PC/ABS FR

Ultrafuse® PC/ABS FR is a V-0 flame retardant blend of Polycarbonate and ABS – two of the most used thermoplastics for engineering & electrical applications. The combination of these two materials results in a premium material with a mix of the excellent mechanical properties of PC and the comparably low printing temperature of ABS. Combined with a halogen free flame retardant, parts printed with Ultrafuse® PC/ABS FR feature great tensile and impact strength, higher thermal resistance than ABS and can fulfill the requirements of the UL94 V-0 standard.
