RTP Company offers a glass-filled nylon 6/6 compound that has obtained a complete UL yellow card listing, including an all-color flame rating of V-0 at extremely thin sections (0.019 in or 0.48 mm). The RTP 205 FR compound contains 30% glass fiber for applications that require a combination of flame retardance and strength.
“Not only does this product have a full UL rating,” said Paul Killian, Product Manager for Flame Retardant Materials, “It is also approved by UL for regrind usage up to 50%. Where applicable, this allows greater flexibility and cost savings for our molders by expanding their ability to recycle parts, sprues, and runners.”
