SAYTEX BT-93W flame retardant is a unique white-colored additive that combines
stable, aromatic bromine with an imide structure.
Applications SAYTEX BT-93W flame retardant provides premium performance in a wide
range of applications. It finds use in polyolefins, high-impact polystyrene (HIPS),
thermoplastic polyesters (PBT, PET,etc.), polycarbonate and elastomers.
Additional information on the use of SAYTEX BT-93W flame retardant may be found
in the following Technical Bulletins, which are available from Albemarle:
? Flame Retardant Comparison in Glass-Filled Polybutylene Terephthalate
? Flame Retarding Elastomers

Benefits and Features SAYTEX BT-93W flame retardant has outstanding thermal and UV stability. Its
white color allows use in color-sensitive applications. Its thermal stability allows
use in engineering resins like polyesters and polyamides. SAYTEX BT-93W flame
retardant is also non-blooming. This feature allows use in such critical applications
as polyolefin films where good heat sealability is required. Its excellent wet electrical
properties also make it ideal for wire and cable applications.
