Key Performance Characteristics
Flame Retardant Synergist
Acts as a highly effective synergist in flame-retardant nylon formulations, significantly enhancing the overall flame suppression performance of the system.
Red Phosphorus System Compatibility
Particularly effective in flame-retardant nylon red phosphorus systems, boosting efficiency and enabling reduced total additive loading.
Nano-Scale Filler for Engineering Plastics
Functions as a nano-filler in engineering plastics and nano-nylon, improving mechanical properties, barrier performance, and dimensional stability.
Multi-Function Filler Role
Beyond synergy, CP-180 serves as a reinforcing filler, contributing to improved tensile strength, stiffness, and thermal stability in polymer matrices.
Flame-Retardant Nylon
Primary application domain. CP-180 synergizes with red phosphorus and halogen-free flame retardant systems in PA6 and PA66, enhancing UL94 ratings at minimal loading.
- PA6 & PA66 systems
- Red phosphorus synergy
- UL94 V-0 performance
Engineering Plastics
Used as a reinforcing nano-filler in high-performance engineering plastics, improving rigidity, heat deflection temperature, and gas barrier properties.
- Improved mechanical strength
- Enhanced thermal stability
- Superior barrier performance
Nano-Nylon Composites
Intercalated montmorillonite layers disperse at nanoscale within the nylon matrix, delivering lightweight reinforcement without compromising processability.
- Nanoscale dispersion
- Lightweight reinforcement
- Excellent processability
Recommended Usage Guidelines
For optimal synergistic performance in flame-retardant nylon formulations, a loading of 2% by weight is recommended. This minimal dosage delivers maximum synergistic benefit without adversely affecting the base polymer's mechanical profile.
