Battery
cases are generally made from polypropylene copolymers to give good
acid resistance in use. This is generally so for automotive batteries
as well as lead/acid battery cases which come in a variety of sizes
as they are used in many different applications, ranging from telecoms
to battery backups for computer systems. The main flame retardant
technology used is based on halogenated flame retardants, such as
DE-83R or PE-68 with antimony trioxide synergists.
