Low-Odor PP Flame Retardant Masterbatch Breaks Automotive VOC Barriers

Low-Odor PP Flame Retardant Masterbatch Breaks Automotive VOC Barriers

2025-07-29

Core Trend: Cabin Health Demands Odorless Flame Retardants

Mandatory Automotive Interior Odor Standard (July 2025) requires:
      Odor level ≤3.5 for PP parts (vs. ≤4.5 legacy)
      TVOC <50μgC/g (vs. 100μgC/g)
      UL94 V-0 maintained
Per CAAM, NEV interior PP consumption hits 2.4M tons in 2025 (+38% YoY). Traditional bromine-antimony retardants emit fishy odors (trimethylamine decomposition), causing 63% OEM complaints.


Tech Breakthroughs: Dual-Path Odor Elimination

Kingfa OdorLess™ FR-8150 Innovations:

  1. Molecular Sieve Targeting

    • ZSM-5 nano-cages (0.55nm pores) capture trimethylamine (0.42nm), reducing odor from 4.8 to 2.7 (VDA 270 at 40℃)

  2. PEG Grafting Encapsulation

    • PEG-6000 grafted onto APP isolates antimony trioxide from moisture, cutting amine emissions by 92% after humidity aging

  3. Performance Benchmark

    Parameter Traditional Masterbatch OdorLess™ FR-8150
    Odor Level (VDA 270) Level 4.6 Level 2.7
    TVOC Emission 83μgC/g 38μgC/g
    UL94 Rating V-0 V-0
    Cost Increase - +15%
    *Data: SGS Test Report (No. SH2025-0712)*

Supply Chain Upgrade: Bio-Based Scavengers

  • Pain Point: Petroleum-based DCPD scavengers surged 65% in 2025

  • Kingfa Solution:
    Limonene from lactic acid fermentation (Jiangnan University collab)
    ▶ 51% bio-content, 40% better aldehyde adsorption
    ▶ 28% cost reduction, adopted in BYD Seal interiors


OEM Certification Milestones

  1. Volkswagen ID.7 Project:

    • Passed 10 extreme tests (odor remains 3.1 after 1000h at 85℃/85%RH)

    • Secured $550M order, covering 70% of VW’s 2026 PP retardant demand

  2. Geely Galaxy E8:

    • Dashboard TVOC=42μgC/g (industry lowest), certified "Zero Aldehyde" by CATARC


Future Strategy: AI Odor Prediction

  • "Odor Genome Database" with CAS:
    ▶ 387 flame retardant decomposition fingerprints
    ▶ AI predicts odor levels, cutting R&D time 50%

  • TÜV Rheinland certified 91.3% prediction accuracy
