PYROBAND P-300 is an organo-phosphonate polymer it contains ~22% Phosphorus it demonstrates minimum to no leaching after curing it is ~100% active Use levels are very low (0.75-1.5% owf) meets all FR specifications when applied and cured at recommended levels
PYROBAND P-300 is a durable, concentrated, halogen free, organo-phosphonate based flame retardant for polyester fibers, Suitable for BCF and staple fibers. It is an excellent polymer additive. It can be added to the quench bath or at the crimper in their process. Add-on levels ~3.0% on weight of fiber
It has been used by several fiber and yarn manufacturers.
It takes between 0.75-1.5% PYROBAND P-300 on weight of fiber to render it non- combustible, depending upon denier
Since the PYROBAND is used in small amounts, it has very little effects to physical properties of the fiber. Since PYROBAND is a very viscous liquid, it will have a slight plasticizing effect. If applied as a top-coat or a spin finish. It does have lubricity properties. Another positive effect is the antistatic properties gained by using PYROBAND.
The best way is to spray the chip and mix in a ribbon mixer or tumbler before melting.
The maximum processing temperature is 360°C.

Normally antifogging properties are designed into finishes applied to polyester that will be used in automotive fabrics. An example is spin finishes. If you are buying yarn to produce fabrics, the spin finish should be antifogging. If not, the yarn or fabric produced from this yarn will need to be scoured to remove the volatiles that cause fogging.
