BR-S13 is a new flame retardant specially developed for thermoplastic polyurethane, in different applications like TPU film, TPU circuit, or TPU glue, etc. When used alone, the transparency of TPU materials will be retained. When used in combination with MCA, significant synergistic effect was shown. To reach UL V0, a much lower dosage level is needed, which improves the mechanical properties significantly.
