FRX Polymers Enables New High-Impact Strength, V-0 Flame Retardant, Chemical-Resistant Thermoplastic Compound from Polyvisions

PolyVisions, a leading innovator and producer of thermoplastic compounded materials for industry, announced today the introduction of a durable, chemical-resistant, non-halogenated flame retardant (FR) material designed for demanding applications enabled by FRX Polymers, Inc. 

DuraPET FR is suitable for a variety of applications in automotive, transportation, medical equipment, construction, and electronics. It can be processed by injection molding, extrusion (sheet and film), and thermoforming. FRX Polymers' Nofia polyphosphonate enables DuraPET FR to achieve outstanding FR performance with no compromise to properties and performance.

"We believe DuraPET FR achieves a combination of impact strength, chemical resistance and flame retardancy not available in any material at any price today," said Scott B. Howard, CEO of PolyVisions Inc.

Marc Lebel, CEO of FRX Polymers, commented: "FRX Polymers is excited that its Nofia polymeric additive has been selected as the FR solution for the DuraPET FR product by PolyVisions. DuraPET FR exhibits improved properties in addition to flame retardancy not possible using non-polymeric halogen- free FR solutions. PolyVisions innovative product demonstrates the value of Nofia polyphosphonates as a performance halogen-free FR additive, what we refer to as "FR Plus."
