Although flammability is not often a concern with conventional gas powered vehicles, electrical and autonomous vehicles do require a fresh approach to passenger safety. Most thermoplastics utilized in the automotive industry today are inherently flammable, and therefore require an additive package to meet industry flame standards such as UL94 V-0; in addition, they must function well in the end application.
Batteries and their components benefit from Flame Retardant Compounds to help meet safety regulations and improve passenger safety.
