Flame-retardant ABS is engineered to meet safety standards by incorporating additives that suppress combustion, typically achieving an FR V0 rating. However, these additives can reduce impact strength and alter other mechanical properties. Recent advancements have led to the development of flame-retardant ABS alloys that blend ABS with inherently flame-resistant materials, reducing the need for additives and preserving mechanical performance. These new materials offer a better balance of fire safety and functional properties, expanding their use in electronics, automotive, and building applications.
