RAW MATERIAL SELECTION
1-1. MAIN TYPE OF PLASTICS APPLIED ON MONITOR
PC/ABC
PC/ABC is a material which can be moulded in thin wall, has a high impact strength and is considered environmentally friendly, because of the use of phosphorous based flame-retardants.
ABS V0
This material is used very widely and is most suitable. It is not halogen/Sb2O3 free, but its price makes it the lowest cost flame-retardant alternative.
HIPS V0
HIPS V0 in light colour is susceptible to yellowing, although by taking appropriate measures this can be avoided.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
ABS offers more gloss and impact strength than HIPS, but is also much more expensive. If using a non-flame-retardant material, then HIPS is better option for dark coloured products. In telefax business formerly ABS V0 was used, but now a normal ABS is used in combination with metal/flameretardant shield of a few critical parts, such as the power supply.
HIPS
HIPS is used for TV cabinet. It is used in high end monitors, where an internal metal shield provides fire protection. HIPS in light colours is also susceptible to yellowing although by taking appropriate measures this may be avoided. (Except USA, at least 94V-1 for USA market)
Mod. PRO (Noryl)
Noryl is PRO/HIPS blend, which used phosphorus based flame-retardant. The main disadvantage of this material is the bad UV stability (yellowing ), predominantly in light colours. The advantages include thin wall moulding, shorter cycle times, lower density and moderate price level. GE Plastics holds the monopoly in this material (Noryl).
Remarks:
1. If these monitors have an internal metal shielding, the cabinet material can be developed in ABS-HB or HIPS-HB in considerable price reduction. (94-HB is not allowed for USA)
2. *) If the net weight of monitor <18 kg, the cabinet material should be V0.
3. The monitors allowed only two kinds of plastics to fulfill TCO99.
Correct wording of flammability class as following
1. 94V-0
2. 94V-1
3. 94V-2
4. 94HB
5. 94-5V

1-4. FLAME RETARDANTS
A: 2 types of flame retardants used for plastics:
- Halogen + Antimony
- Halogen includes the following elements:
- Iodine, Bromine, Chlorine and Fluorine
- Bromide most often used because it is cheap and effective
- Antimony is necessary as a synergist
- Synergist increases the rate of reaction
- Plastics using this flame retardant includes : ABS, PS, etc.
- Phosphorus + Nitrogen
- Nitrogen act as a synergist for phosphorus
- Plastics using this flame retardant includes : PC, PPO, etc.
B: Flame retardant ratings for plastics
-UL 94 Horizontal Burn Test
The burning rate of a horizontal test specimen
Most engineering thermoplastics can pass HB test without flame retardants. |
