Product Description
RF43M, part of the INEOS NOVA Reduced pentane,Flame retardant EPS range, is a free flowing, reduced pentane level, fast cycling fire retardant moulding grade consisting of spherical polystyrene beads containing an internal flame retardant additive and pentane as the expansion agent. Compared to standard fire retardant EPS grades, RF43M offers more controllable preexpansion and shorter silo maturing times and is adapted to batch expanders.
