Hello,

We are facing issue of having deformation variatin between FR grade and non FR grade of PP used for a battery cover application.

Is there an impact on the mechanical property or behaviour of materials when adding flame retardants to Plastic(Specifically to PP).
Please share if any actions which will help to control deformation.

Regards,
Rajesh PV
