Advantages Compound
- Easy processing. Compounds are easy to process. For the addition of batches in the production process, the user needs specific processing know-how and the right equipment. If the latter is not fulfilled, the added batch usually cannot be mixed optimally into the compound, i.e. it may not be evenly distributed in the base polymer.
- Optimum for high flame retardancy. The higher the flame retardancy requirement, the higher the flame retardant content must be, and the more critical the mixing in of a batch during processing (injection molding, extrusion). For particularly high flame retardancy requirements, it is therefore more advisable to use a compound.
- Certified base material. In certain cases, not only the finished component but also the compound must be certified (for example, Yellow Card at UL). In such cases, an HFFR compound is an absolute must and a batch is not expedient.
