Halogen-free Solutions for Greener Electronics

Major consumer electronic manufacturers such as Sony and Apple are leading the way in reducing the amount of, or removing entirely, hazardous materials such as heavy metals and bromine compounds from their products.  As a company that provides performance driven solutions, Ticona is well positioned to help customers develop eco-friendly innovations.

Ticona offers a broad product line of halogen-free, lead-free solderable and flame-resistant thermoplastics that meet RoHS regulations and conform with WEEE directives. In addition, these products provide the highest safety performance with UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings.  

Vectra^® LCP / Zenite® LCP

Inherently flame resistant, UL94 V-0, and halogen-free without additives, the Ticona high-performance LCP product line includes innovative grades that keep pace with needs for thinner walls, higher temperature resistance (up to 340C short-term), higher production rates, lower overall part costs and recyclability (regrind usage up to 50% with UL approval).

Fortron^® PPS

Fortron^® PPS is stiff, strong, hard and tough and has outstanding chemical and oxidative resistance, with a continuous-use temperature that extends to 240°C, is free of halogenated flame retardants and is inherently flame resistant.  A new grade recently introduced, reduces Chlorine concentrations to below 900 parts per million.

Polyester XFR^®

Ticona has developed a comprehensive portfolio of halogen- and antimony-free flame-resistant polyesters. Celanex^® XFR^® PBT and Riteflex^® XFR^® TPC-ET grdes offer “drop-in“ halogen-free solutions without sacrificing the performance delivered by conventional.

We focus the full power of our world-class engineering polymers, global reach, deep technical knowledge, and design and application development experience to help you navigate the green landscape.
