Halogen-free flame retardant For flexible polyurethane foam HF-1
Description and Application
Leticia HF-1 is a halogen-free flame retardant designed for the manufacture of flexible polyurethane foam. Although based on the sole phosphorus as active flame retardant component, its performance matches that of chlorinated phosphate esters.
In addition, Leticia HF-1 has a low viscosity that makes it suitable for all foaming technologies, slab stock or molding, including those using liquid carbon dioxide as the blowing agent.
Another benefit of Leticia HF-1 lies in its scorch property that outperforms that of most flame retardants commonly used in the production of flexible foam.
Leticia HF-1 is particularly recommended for use in flexible foams required to pass the California Technical Bullen 117 fire safety standard for furniture applications and the FMVSS 302 for automobile applications.
