Why Halogenated Flame Retardants Are Still Used in Critical Safety Applications

  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 ...

What is Engineering Polymer Masterbatch?

Engineering polymer masterbatch" refers to a type of additive used in the plastics industry. It is added to engineering polymers, which are high-performance plastics that have superior mechanical and thermal properties, to enhance their properties or to introduce new ones. Engineering polymer masterbatch can be formulated with various additives, such as impact modifiers, flame retardants, UV stabilizers, and colorants. These additives can help to improve the strength, toughness, heat resistance, weatherability, and appearance of the engineering polymer. The masterbatch is typically added to the engineering polymer during the compounding process, which involves mixing and melting the polymer with the additive. This process ensures that the additive is evenly distributed throughout the polymer, resulting in consistent performance and appearance.
