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 ...
Polyolefin films are made using a lot of additives that improve and minimize handling issues. Most polyolefins have some tackiness in their natural condition, making it difficult to manufacture them into packaging films without adding additives that make them easier to separate and slide. Slip masterbatch are utilized to make a film more prone to sliding over itself or other pieces of converting machinery. The amides chemical family contains compounds that are crucial for the industry and are frequently referred to as quick bloom and slow bloom additives. The coefficient of friction and other factors are typically used to determine how effective slip additives are. The rates of surface bloom and COF reduction vary among slide agents. As a result, a single slip agent may only sometimes deliver the results a consumer desires. What are Slip Additive Masterbatches? Slip masterbatches provide slip effect and anti-block performance by reducing friction between polymers and proce...
