What Is Flame Retardant Plastics Injection Molding?

Flame-retardant injection molding is a specialized manufacturing process that produces plastic parts engineered to resist ignition, slow flame spread, or self-extinguish. Unlike standard injection molding, FR plastic molding focuses on integrating flame-retardant (Fr) Zusatzstoffe (Z.B., aluminum phosphinate, nitrogen intumescent) into thermoplastics to meet strict fire safety standards—most notably Ul 94 V-0 (the gold standard for flammability).

Im Kern, fire-resistant polymer molding transforms FR-enhanced resins into self-extinguishing plastics via controlled heating, Injektion, und abkühlen. Unser thermoplastic FR service simplifies this technology: we explain how ignition-resistant molding differs from conventional processes—emphasizing its focus on additive dispersion, uniform part cooling, and post-mold testing to ensure flame-proof injection parts perform reliably in high-risk environments (Z.B., EV -Batteriegehäuse, Leistungsschalter).

Schlüsselbegriffe in fire-safe plastic components production include:

  • Ul 94 V-0: A standard where parts self-extinguish within 10 seconds of removing the ignition source (tested at 0.4 mm Dicke).
  • Halogen-Free FR: FR additives 不含 bromine/chlorine (umweltfreundlich, niedrige Rauchemission).

5 VA Rating: A higher UL 94 Standard (parts don’t burn through, even after multiple ignitions).

The Flame Retardant Plastics Injection Molding Process

Der flame-retardant injection molding process is optimized to preserve FR additive performance and ensure consistent fire safety. Below is a step-by-step overview with critical parameters:

Schritt 1: Materialvorbereitung

  • Moisture Pre-Dry: FR resins (Z.B., FR-PA66, FR-PC) undergo 4 hours of drying at 80–100°C to remove moisture—critical for avoiding defects (moisture causes bubbles, which weaken FR performance).
  • Additive Handling: FR additives (Z.B., red-phosphorus PA, aluminum phosphinate) are pre-compounded with resins to ensure uniform dispersion (poor dispersion leads to inconsistent flammability ratings).

Schritt 2: Injection Setup​

  • Schmelztemperatur: 220–320 ° C. (material-dependent: FR-ABS = 220–260°C; FR-PEEK = 300–320°C); precise temp control (±5°C) prevents additive degradation.​
  • Schimmelpilztemperatur: 60–100 ° C. (maintained via water heating); uniform temp ensures consistent part density (density affects fire resistance).
  • Screw Design: Low-shear screw (20:1 L/D ratio) to avoid breaking down FR additives (shear reduces additive effectiveness).

Schritt 3: Injektion & Monitoring​

  • Hot-Runner Valve Gate: Precise flow control; maintains melt temp to avoid cold spots (cold spots create weak points in FR performance).
  • Venting for Additives: Enhanced venting (0.02 MM Lücke) to release gas from FR additives (trapped gas causes voids).
  • Uniform Fill Speed: 30–50 mm/s fill speed to ensure even resin flow (uneven flow leads to inconsistent additive distribution).

Schritt 4: Post-Molding & Tests

  • Post-Mold Anneal: 1–2 hours at 80–120°C to relieve internal stress; kritisch für thin-wall FR Teile (stress causes warping, which fails UL tests).

CTQ Fire Testing: 100% of parts undergo Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) Testen (Z.B., Ul 94 vertical burn, GWIT) in our in-house lab to ensure compliance.
