Improving non-halogen flame retardancy in UV-curable inkjet inks with IPEMA

Supplied by Kuraray

Explore this case study showing how incorporating IPEMA into UV-curable inkjet ink formulations strengthens non-halogen flame retardancy performance. When combined with phosphorus-based flame retardants, IPEMA suppresses dripping, accelerates char formation, and improves overall fire resistance without compromising transparency or formulation simplicity. 

 

IPEMA-based ink meets all key aircraft interior flame retardancy requirements, including vertical burn, heat release, and smoke generation tests, highlighting its value for high-safety applications such as aerospace, electronics, and transportation coatings.
