Automobiles and New Energy
Flame retardants are widely used in the automotive and new energy fields, mainly covering the following aspects:
Battery System:
Protection of battery packs and modules
UL94 V-0 certification and high temperature resistance requirements for battery pack housings
Addressing the risk of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries
In-Vehicle Electronics and Intelligent Systems:
Central control panels, instrument panels, etc. of smart cockpits
Glow wire test certification, meeting the requirements for high CTI values
Aspects related to sensors and wiring harnesses
Automotive Interiors:
Components such as instrument panels and door panels. According to standards, the burning rate of automotive interior materials is strictly controlled, while maintaining the impact resistance and weather resistance of the materials.
Compliance with the EU RoHS standard
The flame-retardant EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) used as battery pack buffer material not only meets lightweight requirements but also complies with the HF-1 flame-retardant grade.

Food Packaging and Industrial Packaging
Summary of the Applications of Functional Plastic Additives in Industrial Packaging and Food Packaging Fields
Industrial Packaging Field
- Realizing conductivity and antistatic functionalization for packaging films/trays of electronic components and precision instruments to ensure the safety of product transportation and storage.
- Providing flame-retardant and fire-proof solutions for packaging barrels and buffer foams of dangerous goods (such as chemical raw materials and lithium batteries) to avoid dangerous goods leakage caused by packaging combustion.
- Enhancing the impact resistance and wear resistance of turnover boxes and pallets to extend the number of repeated uses of packaging.
- Offering anti-oxidation and anti-aging solutions for industrial plastic products.
Food Packaging Field
- Providing antibacterial and mildew-proof solutions for fresh-keeping films and fresh-keeping boxes used for fresh and cooked food, which inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli and mold, extend the shelf life of food, and comply with food safety standards.
- Providing and anti-blocking solutions for food packaging films (such as PE fresh-keeping films and PP potato chip bags):
- Reducing adhesion between films, ensuring easy opening of packaging, while not affecting printing effects and food contact safety.
- Enhancing the aesthetics and visual appearance of packaging, such as providing functional solutions like matte finish and anti-fogging.
