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 ...

Improve the aesthetics of plastic is using optical brightener masterbatch

  Optical Brightener Masterbatch, also known as fluorescent whitening agents. It serves as a transformative addition to polymers. Designed to counteract yellowing, enhance whiteness, and elevate the brightness of products. These masterbatches operate through a fluorescent mechanism. This mechanism absorbs UV light and emits it in the blue spectrum, creating a visually striking and fresh appearance. Formulated with a meticulous blend of bis-benzoxazole-type organic derivatives and poly-olefin polymer. Optical Brightener Masterbatches stands out for its ability to cut yellowing in end products. This masterbatch not only re-emits blue light upon absorbing ultraviolet radiation. But also imparts whiteness and brightness without introducing a bluer tone to plastic products. Our range includes optical brighteners suitable for both water-soluble and solvent-soluble applications. These brighteners exhibit a unique characteristic—they remain clear under normal conditions. But become visibl...

Reasons to Use Calcium Filler Masterbatches

  Calcium filler masterbatches are a widely used additive in the plastic industry, especially for polyolefin products. Calcium filler masterbatch is a combination of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and a carrier resin.  The calcium carbonate acts as a filler, while the carrier resin acts as a binding agent that facilitates the incorporation of calcium carbonate into plastic products.  Calcium Filler Masterbatches are added to the polymer to improve its mechanical, physical, and processing properties. In this blog, we will explore the reasons why you should use calcium filler masterbatches in your plastic products. 1. Improved Physical Properties The addition of calcium filler masterbatch to plastic products can significantly improve their physical properties. Calcium carbonate has a high specific gravity, which increases the density of the plastic product.  This increased density can lead to improved mechanical properties, such as increased stiffness and impact resistanc...
