"NOVADURAN SEF series" Halogen-Free flame retardant PBT

Questions or Comments here

"NOVADURAN SEF series" is a brand-new halogen-free flame retardant PBT developed with the original flame retardant technology. SEF series is classified UL94 V-0 and good electric insulation characteristics.

NOVADURAN SEF series enable to markedly improve the safety of the electric　and　elctronic　equipmets.

Low mold deposit and low volatile types are also available.

Features

	1. Bromin free flame retardant	Movie of Comparative Tracking Index Test
	2. High tracking resistant ：CTI(≧600V：PLC0)
	3. Low volatile matter

Typical properties
NOVADURAN Polybutylene terephthalate Resin
