Overview
Flame
retardant Masterbatches are additive concentrates formulated with
specialized
flame-retardant chemicals dispersed in a polymer carrier resin. They are
designed to
reduce flammability, suppress smoke generation, and delay
ignition in plastics, thereby improving fire safety and compliance with
regulatory standards. These masterbatches provide effective protection without
compromising mechanical or aesthetic properties of the final product.
Physical & Chemical Properties
- Active Ingredients: Halogen-free or halogenated
flame-retardant systems, synergists, and smoke suppressants.
- Carrier Resin: PE, PP, PS, ABS, PET or
universal carriers for wide polymer compatibility.
- Appearance: Free-flowing pellets,
typically off-white or light-colored.
- Thermal Stability: Formulated for processing
temperatures up to 300 °C.
- Flame Retardancy: Achieves UL 94 V-0, V-1 or
HB ratings depending on formulation.
- Smoke Suppression: Special grades reduce toxic
gas and smoke emissions.
Applications
- Electronics &
Electricals:
Cable sheathing, connectors, housings, and appliance parts requiring
compliance with fire safety standards.
- Automotive &
Transportation:
Interior parts, under-the-hood components, and insulation materials.
- Construction Materials: Pipes, panels, insulation
boards, roofing, and profiles.
- Consumer Goods: Furniture, textiles, and
household items requiring fire resistance.
- Packaging: Specialized applications where fire safety is
critical.
Processing Techniques
- Injection Molding – automotive, electrical,
and appliance parts.
- Extrusion – sheets, pipes, and
construction profiles.
- Blow Molding – containers and housings.
- Cable & Wire Coating – insulation and sheathing
with flame-retardant properties.
- Fiber Spinning – flame-retardant textiles,
upholstery, and carpets.
Sustainability
- Halogen-free flame retardant
grades
reduce environmental impact and toxic emissions.
- Low-smoke, low-toxicity
formulations
enhance safety in confined environments.
- Recyclable and eco-compliant
grades
designed for circular economy use.
- Extended product safety reduces fire-related damage
and waste.
- Meets global standards and regulations
(RoHS, REACH, UL, etc.) for safe applications.
