Fire safety is one of the most important concerns in industries ranging from electronics to automotive and construction. Over the years, different flame-retardant technologies have been developed to minimize risks, but some continue to dominate specific high-risk applications. Among these, halogenated flame retardants remain widely used despite growing discussions about alternatives. The reason is simple: in critical safety applications where reliability is non-negotiable, these flame retardants consistently deliver unmatched performance. What Are Halogenated Flame Retardants? Halogenated flame retardants are element-based additives like bromine and chlorine. They are added to polymers and other materials to minimize flammability as well as hold back fire. When subjected to fire, they emit halogen radicals that disrupt the chemical reaction involved in the combustion process, thereby slowing down or halting the flames' spread. Their fast action and low concentration capability ...
Management of plastic waste has become one of the largest environmental issues of our era. Governments, industries, and consumers alike are demanding sustainable solutions, and recyclability is at the center of it all. Among numerous innovations behind this movement, Black Masterbatch is especially noteworthy. It was once regarded as an obstacle to recycling, but is now transforming into a solution that enhances recyclability and quality of sustainable plastics. What is Black Masterbatch and Why It Matters Black Masterbatch is a highly concentrated blend of carbon black pigment, carrier resin, and performance-enhancing additives. It's applied broadly across industries like packaging, automobiles, infrastructure, and consumer durables. Although its initial objective is to provide deep black color and enhance durability, its reach goes deeper. Now, with the right compositions, black masterbatch can even simplify plastics recycling and reusability, a challenge that until recently h...
