Generally HIPS is useful for the electric and electronic applications due to its excellent material properties. The materials used in electric and electronic applications must have flame retardant properties to prevent fire caused by the occurrence of electricity leakage. In addition, due to legislation regarding the use of flame retardant materials for fire safety, there has been a steadily increasing demand for flame retardant products. When dealing with plastic material for fire retardant, the following general approaches are available: design of the basic polymers and incorporation of chemicals. For many plastic materials, the most feasible method of improving their nonflammability available flame retardants, such as halogen compounds(Br, Cl, etc). Cheil Industries Inc. produces various grades of starex Flame Retardant HIPS through the advanced production technology.
