Floreon Case Studies.
Read our case studies on how Floreon was used in different processes for different applications
INJECTION MOULDING
Electrical Components.
The Challenge
The electrical components are currently manufactured from flame-retardant polycarbonate (FR PC), a fossil-derived, halogen-containing polymer that is not recyclable.
The Solution
Floreon Therma-Tech®, a UL94 V-0 rated, halogen-free, plant-based flame-retardant polymer.
Key Benefits
• >80% renewable, bio-based content
• 7 times lower carbon footprint than virgin FR PC
• Processing temperature reduced by 100°C
• Cycle time reduced by 10%
• No tooling change required
• Matched mechanical properties
• Recyclable both mechanically and chemically
• Passes Glow Wire testing at 950°C
