Abstract
The processing heat stability of most fire retardant plastics is lower than that of non-retarded plastics. Some compromises between processing heat stability and flame-retardancy are demonstrated in the following examples: u - the use of higher melt flowability of fire retardant-plastics to reduce processing temperature, for example brominated epoxy in acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer; - heat stabilization of fire retardants, for example stabilized hexabromo-cyclododecane in high impact polystyrene and in polypropylene; - the use of fire retardant mixtures and polymer property enhancers, for example in fire retardant-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (ABS).
