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 (Фр) добавки (НАПРИМЕР., aluminum phosphinate, nitrogen intumescent) into thermoplastics to meet strict fire safety standards—most notably UL 94 V.-0 (the gold standard for flammability).
По своей сути, fire-resistant polymer molding transforms FR-enhanced resins into self-extinguishing plastics via controlled heating, инъекция, и охлаждение. Наш 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 (НАПРИМЕР., ЭВ -аккумуляторные корпусы, выключатели).
Ключевые термины в 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 ММ толщина).
- Halogen-Free FR: FR additives 不含 bromine/chlorine (экологически чистый, Низкий выброс дыма).
5 VA Rating: A higher UL 94 стандартный (parts don’t burn through, even after multiple ignitions).

The Flame Retardant Plastics Injection Molding Process
А 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:
Шаг 1: Материал подготовка
- Moisture Pre-Dry: FR resins (НАПРИМЕР., 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 (НАПРИМЕР., red-phosphorus PA, aluminum phosphinate) are pre-compounded with resins to ensure uniform dispersion (poor dispersion leads to inconsistent flammability ratings).
Шаг 2: Injection Setup
- Расплавлять температуру: 220–320 ° C. (material-dependent: FR-ABS = 220–260°C; FR-PEEK = 300–320°C); precise temp control (±5°C) prevents additive degradation.
- Температура формы: 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).
Шаг 3: Инъекция & 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 GAP) 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).
Шаг 4: Post-Molding & Тестирование
- Post-Mold Anneal: 1–2 hours at 80–120°C to relieve internal stress; критическое для thin-wall FR части (stress causes warping, which fails UL tests).
CTQ Fire Testing: 100% of parts undergo Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) тестирование (НАПРИМЕР., UL 94 vertical burn, GWIT) in our in-house lab to ensure compliance.
