Hanita widens portfolio of flame retardant PET label face films

New array of black, white & translucent Halogen-free polyester films with VTM-0 flame retardancy delivers cost-effective solution to FR electronic labeling

Hanita Coatings, a leading supplier of topcoated polyester facestock to the label industry, has recently added a dozen new flame retardant films to its portfolio of specialty labelface products.  These black, white and translucent 1 and 1.5 mil (25 and 36 micron) printable facefilms meet the demanding UL 94 VTM-0 flame retardancy rating, helping prevent the propagation of fire.
Hanita’s Halogen-free FR films deliver full printability by conventional print processes and thermal transfer, or may be used as flame retardant base media for non-printable applications.
 “Up to now,” explains Gadi Arnon, product manager for Hanita’s Print division, “flame retardant labels have been based on either thick, expensive PET films extruded with FR additives, or high-cost Polyimide substrates.  Hanita is offering an affordable, thin and effective solution to the flame propagation requirements of the electronic appliance market, based on a proprietary coating development.”
Hanita’s ecologically sound, REACH and RoHS compliant flame retardant label films are particularly suitable for the highly competitive appliance battery market.  They also provide an excellent solution for label applications demanding high-level flame retardancy performance in environments such as chemical plants or refineries.
