Global consumption and waste creation
Global consumer demand for manufactured product is
increasing and so is the amount of waste created.
Due to the shortening life cycles of electronic appliances such
as laptops, mobile phones, the “electronic segments” waste
volume is especially growing (E-waste).
Manufactured products contain many valuable
resources that can be recycled.
When recycling processes are not optimal, these processes introduce risks of generating
hazardous by-products from e.g. halogen containing compounds.
– Latest regulations focus more on halogenated substances (RoHS, IPC-4101B)
– WEEE - separation requirements for plastics containing brominated flame retardants

Public: Ensuring "halogen free" compliance
Trend towards halogen free plastic compounds
The debate continues over the risk that certain halogenated substances pose, however
market perception is a key driver towards halogen-free compounds.
Many OEMs have publicly stated their intent to become "halogen-free“.
– “Halogen free” is no longer a marketing term but a real market
Clariant is already a leading supplier in halogen free flame retardants
Discussion considerations: “halogen free” definition today and in the future:
– Will the industry specify limits of Br and Cl content lower than the current 900ppm?
– Is the industry moving towards elemental Br and Cl limits, regardless of substance?
– Will high-end XRF equipment become part of the inline QC screening process for the detection of Br and Cl?
Clariant is evaluating the impact of this discussion on the colorants business and the
need for halogen free colorants.

Typical halogenated resins & additives
Halogenated resins
– E.g. PVC, PVDC, Chloroprene rubber
– Inherently chlorinated
– Alternative halogen free resins available
Halogenated flame retardants
– E.g. Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE),
hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) and tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBA).
– Used in high dosage (5-25%)
– Alternative halogen free flame retardants available
Halogenated colorants
– E.g. Phthalocyanine (PG 7, PG36), Isoindolinone (PY110), Quinophthalone (PY138)
– Used in low dosage (typically <1%)
– Alternative halogen free colorants available

What are halogens?
The halogens are a series of nonmetal elements from Group 17 of the periodic table.
– Fluorine F
– Chlorine Cl
– Bromine Br
– Iodine I
– Astatine At
The term “halogen free” does not necessarily indicate a complete absence of halogens!
– Only Chlorine and Bromine are within the scope of discussion
– Fluorine is proposed a possibly in the scope for halogen free electronics
– Iodine and Astatine are not within the scope of halogen free electronics
Note: Periodic table only partially shown Halogens

Why are certain colorants halogenated?
Organic colorants are defined as a system of (1) conjugated double bonds connected by
(2) chromophores and modified by (3) substituent groups (e.g. halogens)
– Substituents like chlorine and bromine play an important role in a pigments hue and chemical stability.
The halogen contents in a pigments structure is dependent on the pigment chemistry
Colorants without halogens in their structure are available as well

Conclusions
The contribution of halogens of certain halogenated colorants in the plastic compound is
far lower than that of PVC and halogenated flame retardants.
However, for highly halogenated pigments at common concentrations in plastics, it is
possible to determine chlorine or bromine levels above those required by IPC4101B.
– As determined using the industry standard IEC 61189-2:2006 IC as well a high end XRF screening equipment
Care should be taken when formulating halogen free compounds when using highly
halogenated flame retardants.
It is recommended to use structurally halogen free colorants for the coloration of
“halogen free” compounds in order to ensure compliance with “halogen free” regulations.

– P.G. 7 and P.G. 36 are both highly halogenated
– P.B. 15:1 is available as chlorine (A2R) stabilized and
non-chlorine (A4R) stabilized types
– P.B. 15, P.B. 15:2 and P.B. 15:4 are halogen free
– P.B. 15:3 is structurally halogen free but has a slightly
higher impurity level of chlorine. This should not hinder
“halogen free” compliance of the final application.

Structurally non halogenated pigments
Structurally halogen free colorants might still have some very low levels of halogen
impurities.
This could be caused by intermediates, HCl solvents or basic NaCl salts in the water.
These potential impurity levels however do not obstruct the “halogen free” compliance
when kept at low levels
The structurally halogen free pigments at common concentrations in plastics comply with
the chlorine or bromine levels required by IPC4101B.
– As determined using the industry standard IEC 61189-2:2006 IC as well a high end XRF screening equipment

Public: Low halogen solutions
Even non- halogentated colorants can contain halogens as
impurities, e.g.
• Due to the contaminated water
• Side reactions during the pigment synthesis
• From rawmaterial with high impurity levels
• Improper washing
Therefore, the halogen levels should be analysed and monitored and proofed.

Worldwide trends
– The deployment of halogen free cables is obligatory in public buildings and in areas with a
high concentration of people, e.g. in tunnels, airports.
– “Halogen free cables” prevent injury to persons and damage to material assets, in the
event of a fire by preventing hazardous fumes.
Material solutions
– Alternatives to PVC for “halogen free cables” include TPE-U and TPE-E resins that offer
flame retardant, halogen free and abrasion resistant technology for wire and cable
applications.
Coloring solutions
– Clariant offers a wide range of “halogen free” colorants for both resin systems

Halogen free polyamide coloration
Worldwide trends
– Polyamide (PA) and polyesters (PBT) are high performance engineering resins for molded
articles in industrial and electrical applications.
– It‟s flame retardancy was commonly improved using brominated flame retardants.
– Phosphorus based Exolit flame retardants allow halogen free compounds to be produced.
– The use of other halogenated substances however can still avoid compliance with “halogen
free” standards
Coloring solutions
– Clariant offers specific “halogen free” colorants for the injection molding of polyamides and
polyesters (PBT)

Liquid polymeric systems
Epoxy resins
The substrate most commonly used in printed circuit boards is a glass
fiber reinforced (fiberglass) epoxy resin with a copper foil bonded on
to one or both sides.
– PCBs made from paper reinforced phenolic resin with a bonded copper foil are less
expensive and are often used in household electrical devices.
