Additive flame retardant for rigid and flexible polyurethane foams LF-11
Description and Application
Leticia LF-11 is an additive flame retardant used extensively in the manufacture of rigid and flexible polyurethane foams. Leticia LF-11 exhibits a very good hydrolytic stability and is soluble in the organic solvents commonly used in the industry.
In addition, Leticia LF-11 has a very low odour that makes it a flame retardant of choice for the production of open cells flexible polyurethane foams.
When combined with a synergist like Melamine, Leticia LF- 11 allows the passing of most severe fire standards like BS-5852 Crib 5.
LeticiaLF-11 can be used in all rigid polyurethane applications (i.e. panel, roofing, pour-in-place) and is comparable with all common blowing agents and eventual co-flame retardant.
Other applications where LeticiaLF-11 may also be used are polyurethane elastomers, epoxy resins and other thermoplastic materials.
