BYK-MAX CT 4260

BYK-MAX CT 4260 by BYK is a flame retardant synergist for halogen-free flame retardant thermoplastics. It also improves the process & physical barrier properties in thermoplastic compounds as well as the dropping behavior and crust formation. It can reduce the filler content and overall weight. The barrier properties to oxygen, water vapor and hydrocarbons can be increased by using BYK-MAX CT 4260. In thermoplastics such as polyamides (PA) and bioplastics such as polylactides (PLA), the melt viscosity is increased enabling an improvement in the dimensional stability during profile extrusion. It is especially recommended for aluminum hydroxide-filled ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), low-density polyethylene (LDPE/LLDPE), magnesium hydroxide-filled polypropylene (PP), polypropylene (PP) films and polylactide (PLA) films. It is listed in EINECS, TSCA, DSL, AICS, PICCS, IECSC, ENCS, NZIoC and ECSI. It is in line with EU Directive 2011/65/EC (RoHS 2), EU Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE), EU Directive 94/62/EC (Packaging Waste), CONEG Toxics in Packaging. It complies with Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 (Restricted) and US FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 Olefin Polymers. The recommended level is 3-5% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation. It has a shelf life of 60 months.
