Product Description
Flame retardant HIPS is generally used in the electric and electronic applications owing to its excellent material properties.The materials used in electric and electronic applications are required to have flammability to prevent fire caused by the occurance of electricity leakage . In addition, due to legislation regarding the use of flame retardant materials for fire safety, there has been a steadily increasing demand for flame retardant products.LG chemical's HIPS meet the requirements of UL, CSA and IEC and also LG chemical produces outstanding flame retardant HIPS through its advanced technology.
