| Maxxam™ FR flame-retardant polyolefin compounds and masterbatches meet stringent flammability performance requirements defined by industry agencies, including Underwriters Laboratories UL 94 V-2, V-0, and 5VA performance ratings. In addition, many compounds in the Maxxam FR portfolio offer elevated Relative Thermal Index (RTI) ratings. When this concentrate is letdown at the proper ratio the resulting materials can achieve flame retardancy equivalent to the requirements of the UL-94 V-2 or VTM-2. BFD IX-1 and NFPA 701 preformance criteria are achievable using 8% PE CONC 1 in LDPE film @ 4-8 mil film. V-2 performance criteria is achievable in PE @ 15-30% in thicknesses >/= 1.5mm.
