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 ...
White Masterbatches have become a popular choice for many industries due to their versatility and effectiveness. White masterbatch is essentially a mixture of high-grade pigments, additives, and carriers that can be used to modify the color, texture, and other properties of plastic resin parts and products. In this blog, we will discuss what white masterbatch is and how it provides advantages in numerous applications. We will also cover its benefits, types of white masterbatch, ways to use them as well as what materials they are best suited for. What is a White Masterbatch? A white masterbatch is essentially a concentrated blend of titanium dioxide (TiO2), and other pigments chosen to produce ultraviolet (UV) protection or specific optical specifications such as matt finish or gloss level. The blend of TiO2 is usually 15% -30% by weight with an oxide content less than 40%. To create a white masterbatch, the selected pigments are mixed together with heat-stabilizers, UV-stabilize...
