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 ...
The world of plastics is on a constant trajectory of transformation, fueled by relentless innovation and the ever-shifting demands of diverse industries. As we collectively strive towards a more sustainable future, the need for high-performance plastics catering to a wide range of applications without compromising environmental responsibility has become paramount. In this dynamic landscape, additive masterbatches are emerging as a game-changing force, offering a versatile and future-proof solution for both plastic manufacturers and product developers. Delving Deeper into Additive Masterbatches: Additive masterbatches are not merely a blend of ingredients; they are meticulously formulated concentrates of performance-enhancing additives dispersed within a carrier resin. These specialized additives possess the remarkable ability to modify the inherent properties of virgin plastics, enabling them to cater to specific functional requirements. Available in various forms li...
