Flame Retardant Polycarbonate
Flame Retardant PC
Flame retardant PC (Polycarbonate) resin is a specialized engineering plastic modified to meet strict fire safety standards, typically achieving UL94 V-0, V-1, or V-2, 5VA, 5VB ratings. It retains the excellent mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and impact resistance of standard PC while preventing the spread of fire. Our FR PC pellets are widely used in electronic components, home appliances, and automotive interiors.

Substitution Checklist (Procurement Review):
Before replacing any grade, verify (1) UL94 rating at the same wall thickness, (2) UL-listed color, (3) halogen-free or PFAS-free declaration, (4) MFR / MVR, (5) notched impact at 23°C and –30°C, (6) UV / UL 746C f1 status, and (7) processing window (barrel temp / mold temp). Typical values are not specifications. Please request current TDS / SDS / COA and test samples before substitution.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
V-0 is the highest rating, where the material extinguishes within 10 seconds without dripping. V-1 allows extinguishing within 30 seconds without dripping, while V-2 allows extinguishing within 30 seconds but permits dripping of flaming particles.
Yes, due to the addition of flame retardant additives and more complex production processes, FR PC is generally 10-30% more expensive than standard PC.
Absolutely. For any product listed on this page, please contact us or click the product link to request the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and UL Yellow Card.
