- PP typically does not require drying, but drying improves surface quality
- Avoid overheating — FR additives may degrade above 240°C
Storage & Handling
PP has low moisture absorption — drying is generally not required. Store sealed in a dry, ventilated area. Avoid high-temperature exposure.

Product Overview
Flame Retardant PP is an environmentally friendly flame-retardant polypropylene based mainly on phosphorus and nitrogen elements, rated UL94 V-0 at 1.6 mm and V-2 at 0.8 mm. Unlike traditional halogen-based systems, our FR PP combines condensed-phase and gas-phase flame-retardant mechanisms in a synergistic way: on one hand it raises flame-retardant efficiency through the combined action of both phases, and on the other hand it interrupts the heat-exchange mechanism to carry away the heat needed for combustion.
This halogen-free formulation produces less smoke and fewer corrosive gases in a fire, complies with RoHS and modern environmental requirements, and meets glow-wire requirements of GWFI 850. With a density of 0.95-1.05 g/cm³ and excellent cost performance, it is the economical first choice for appliance housings, electrical control boxes, power strip shells and power tool housings.

Applications in Detail
Appliance Housings & Electrical Control Boxes
Housings for appliances and electrical control boxes run warm and sit near electrical components. FR PP provides UL94 V-0 protection with the light weight and low cost of polypropylene, while the halogen-free system keeps smoke and corrosive gas low — important for home environments and fire-safety regulations.
Power Strips & Electrical Enclosures
Power strips, wall switches and electrical enclosures demand glow-wire and flame performance. Our grade meets GWFI 850 glow-wire requirements and V-0 flame rating, protecting users from electrical faults while keeping parts affordable at high production volumes.
Power Tool Housings
Power tool bodies need stiffness, impact balance and flame safety. FR PP delivers all three at a lower cost than FR ABS or FR PC, with good flow for large, thin-wall housings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does halogen-free flame-retardant PP mean?
It means the flame retardant contains no bromine or chlorine. Our system is based on phosphorus and nitrogen compounds that work through condensed-phase and gas-phase synergy, producing less smoke and fewer corrosive gases under fire, and meeting RoHS environmental requirements.
What flame and glow-wire ratings does FR PP achieve?
Our flame retardant PP is rated UL94 V-0 at 1.6 mm and V-2 at 0.8 mm, and meets glow-wire requirements of GWFI 850. For specific part thicknesses, send us your design and we will confirm achievable ratings.
Does FR PP need drying before molding?
Polypropylene has very low moisture absorption, so drying is generally not required. We recommend 2-3 hours at 80°C for best surface quality, and to avoid overheating above 240°C as FR additives may degrade.
What colors and grades are available?
We supply natural, black and white pellets, and can match custom colors. Different FR levels and melt-flow grades can be formulated for injection molding or extrusion applications.
