FAQs:
What is Melamine Cyanurate (MCA) and how does it work as a flame retardant?
Melamine Cyanurate (MCA) is a high-efficiency, halogen-free flame retardant containing nitrogen. It works by sublimating and absorbing heat at high temperatures, then decomposing into nitrogen, water, and carbon dioxide gases that carry away heat, effectively suppressing flames in plastics.
Which types of plastics can use MCA flame retardants?
MCA is specially used for unfilled PA6 and PA66, and can be combined with other flame retardants for applications in PBT, PET, EP, TPE, TPU, and textile coatings, providing versatile fire safety solutions.
What are the key specifications and safety features of MCA?
MCA features high nitrogen content (≥49%), decomposition temperatures from 300°C, low moisture (≤0.3%), and is halogen-free, non-toxic, and odorless. It meets UL 94 V0 standards and is available in fine powder forms with excellent thermal stability.
