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 use of Color Masterbatches is becoming increasingly popular in today’s production world. Universal color masterbatches allow manufacturers to create vibrant and eye-catching products with much less effort than traditional coloring methods. In this blog, we will discuss the basics of universal color masterbatches, their advantages and how they can be used in various industries. We will also provide a comprehensive overview of the different types of Color Masterbatches available on the market and the benefits they can provide. What is a Universal Color Masterbatch? Universal Masterbatches are specialty colorants designed to help manufacturers easily and quickly add vibrant colors to their products. These colorants are made from a combination of pigments and additives designed to be compatible with various resins and polymers. The pigments used in these masterbatches are carefully chosen to provide a wide range of colors and shades. The additives are added to impro...
