Product type
Flame retardant additives are chemical compounds incorporated into plastics and polymers to reduce flammability and slow the spread of fire. These additives work by either releasing water vapor when heated, which cools the material, or by forming a protective char layer that insulates the underlying material from heat. They are essential for enhancing the safety of various plastic products in applications where fire resistance is critical.
| Chemical type | Halogenated or non-halogenated |
| Form | Powder, granule, or liquid |
| Compatibility | Compatible with various polymers including PVC, PE, and PS |
| Loading level | Typically 5% to 30% by weight |
| Processing temperature | Varies by polymer, typically 180°C to 250°C |
When selecting flame retardant additives, consider the specific polymer type and application requirements. It's important to specify the desired chemical type, such as halogenated or non-halogenated, based on regulatory and safety standards. Additionally, indicate the required loading level and any compatibility concerns with other additives or materials. Request certifications and test results to ensure compliance with industry standards.
