But the very small particle size is fluffy and not free-flowing, making it difficult to feed and convey into the screw or unable to consistently maintain the quantity of the compound. Therefore it is necessary to sort out the very small FPA particles upon synthesis. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Currently, IRPC Public Company Limited has approximately 200 tons of accumulated FPA300 fibrils, worth approximately 60 million baht.

In the case of sheets thicker than 0.8 mm, the surface roughness is reduced by 2.9-5.4%. The addition of FPA300 also increases the elongation of the ABS sheet by at least 32%, which is beneficial for deep drawing process or thermoforming. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #333333;\">Using FPA300 as an anti-dripping agent: The addition of 30% flame retardant in combination with FPA300 0.5 phr (parts per hundred part of resin) in ABS acquired UL94-5VA rating, the top rank in fire-retardant test.
