CP-180 organoclay for flame retardant Nylon 6
CP-180B Organoclay Modified Montmorillonite โ Premium Flame Retardant Synergist for Nylon 6 Compounding
Introduction
CP-180 organoclay for flame retardant Nylon 6
Core Pain Points of Traditional Flame Retardant Nylon 6 Formulation
- High raw material cost: Conventional flame retardants are far more expensive than PA6 resin. High FR loading directly raises overall compound cost per kilogram.
- Severe processing side effects: Excessive flame retardant triggers heavy mold corrosion during injection molding, releases strong irritating odor and massive toxic harmful fumes, worsening workshop environment and end product safety risks.
- Compromised mechanical performance: Over-dosing flame retardants weakens the structural stability of finished Nylon 6 parts.
Unique Advantages of CP-180B for Flame Retardant Nylon 6
1. Dramatically Cut Flame Retardant Dosage & Reduce Overall Cost
- Raw material cost advantage: Using CP-180B brings down the comprehensive material cost by RMB 2 per kilogram of finished PA6 product.
- Less expensive flame retardant consumption directly optimizes your gross profit margin without sacrificing fire resistance standard.
2. Eliminate Processing Hazards & Protect Molds
- Greatly slow down mold corrosion, extending mold service life and lowering maintenance expenses.
- Significantly suppress pungent odor and emission of harmful toxic gases during extrusion and injection molding, creating a safer, more eco-friendly production environment.
3. Upgraded Material Performance
4. Better Dispersibility Than Standard CP-180
