The robust properties of PFAS—including exceptional flame resistance, heat tolerance, wear resistance, self-lubrication, and chemical stability—have led to their widespread use in food packaging, industrial production, textiles, and material processing. However, their extreme biostability makes them non-degradable, allowing persistent toxins to accumulate in ecosystems and eventually enter the human body. With escalating environmental regulations, EU policies and global PFAS restrictions are set to take full effect in 2025, posing significant challenges for material manufacturers.

At CHINAPLAS 2025 (April 15-18, Shenzhen), Zhuhai Complord New Materials unveiled its breakthrough in PFAS-free flame retardant technology.

HF-480M3A Flame Retardant Masterbatch, developed by Complord, is an eco-friendly phosphorus-based masterbatch specifically designed for polycarbonate (PC). Its core innovation lies in the complete elimination of halogens, PFAS, and other hazardous substances, ensuring full compliance with RoHS, REACH, and global PFAS regulations. By optimizing the phosphorus-based flame retardant system, the modified polycarbonate achieves UL 94 V-0 certification at 1.5mm thickness, overcoming the limitations of traditional flame retardant materials.

Performance Advantages:

- Superior Electrical Insulation & Mechanical Strength: Ideal for precision injection molding in electrical switch panels.

- Weather Resistance: Meets durability requirements for automotive lighting components.

- High-Temperature Stability: Suitable for charger/power adapter applications.

This innovation delivers a sustainable material solution that aligns with safety compliance and industrial advancement for industries such as new energy and automotive electronics.
