Definition of plastic sheets
Plastic sheet refers to a material that is mainly composed of resin (or directly polymerized with monomers during processing), with plasticizers, fillers, lubricants, colorants, and other additives as auxiliary components, and can flow and form during the processing.
Plastic sheet refers to the plastic raw materials (particles) heated in a plastic extruder or plastic rolling machine, melted, and extruded or rolled into plastic rolls with a thickness of about 0.25-1.00mm. The thickness of the board is greater than 1mm (up to 40mm).
Material classification of plastic sheets

Application of flame retardant plastic sheets
Flame retardant plastic sheets are made by adding flame retardants on the basis of ordinary plastic sheets, and have good fire resistance performance. Its main application areas include:
1. Building and interior decoration: Used for firewall panels, ceiling panels, flooring materials, etc., to provide necessary fire protection and enhance the safety of the building.
2. Electronics and appliances: Used for electrical enclosures and internal components of electronic equipment to prevent fires caused by electrical failures.
3. Transportation: Used as interior materials for cars, airplanes, and trains, to improve the fire resistance of transportation vehicles and ensure passenger safety.
4. Public places: such as cinemas, conference centers, shopping malls, and other crowded places, the use of flame-retardant plastic sheets can effectively prevent the spread of fires and ensure personnel safety.
Conclusion: Plastic sheets, as an important industrial material, are widely used in various industries due to their diverse materials and excellent performance. Flame retardant plastic sheets, due to their special fire resistance, have important application value in fields such as construction, electronics, electrical appliances, transportation, and public places. With the advancement of technology and the increasing demand for safety, the demand for flame retardant plastic sheets will continue to increase, and their market prospects will also be broader.
We use flame retardants on PP and PC sheets,
PP sheet flame retardants can achieve zero halogen V0 level without dripping, are environmentally friendly, comply with ROHS standards, maintain stability and UV resistance after long-term use;
PC sheet flame retardant is an efficient and environmentally friendly halogen-free sulfonate flame retardant, which can achieve UL94 V-0 flame retardant performance.
The product has good processing fluidity, no precipitation, and has the characteristic of maintaining the original transparency of PC.
Widely used in transparent or opaque PC and PC/ABS flame retardant products, it is recommended to add 0.2-0.3%.
Specific applications include PC film flame retardant, automotive, electronic appliances, mobile phone charger cases, computer cases, LED lighting brackets, switch panels, and other PC flame retardant products.
