Flame Retardant Synergist Product Range Based on Zinc (Hydroxy)stannate Chemistry

Flame Retardant Synergist Product Range Based on Zinc (Hydroxy)stannate Chemistry

Our product range offers flame retardant synergists with flame retardant (FR) activity and smoke suppression capabilities. These products are a competitive alternative to traditional halogen-containing materials.

• REACH Registered: Our products are REACH registered and do not have any hazard classifications.
• Replacement for Antimony Trioxide: These products serve as an effective replacement for the commonly used, yet concerning, antimony trioxide.

Applications:

• Plasticized PVC: Flexible PVC compounds require flame retardant additives due to the flammable plasticizers used to provide flexibility. Flamtard™ H and X are ideal alternatives to traditional antimony-containing additives. These products feature controlled particle sizes to ensure optimal dispersibility in plasticized PVC systems. Typical applications include PVC wire and cable, PVC-coated technical textiles, wall coverings, and flooring.
• Polyamides: In engineering plastics, non-flammability is a critical performance parameter. As demand increases for flame retardant properties in applications such as electrical components for electric vehicles, high-performance additives are essential. Flamtard™ S is an ideal additive for boosting flame retardant properties when used alongside halogenated or non-halogenated additives. Additionally, when combined with non-halogenated additives, Flamtard™ S can enhance anti-corrosion properties.
• Elastomers, Thermoplastics & Thermosets: Flamtard™ products can improve flame retardant properties in various halogenated polymer systems, alongside additives like brominated flame retardants or chlorinated polymers/waxes. These include elastomers (such as EPDM and TPEs), polyolefins (PE, PP), composites, thermoplastic urethanes, and acrylic fibers. In non-halogenated systems, Flamtard™ products also promote char formation and reduce smoke density.
