Advantages Over Conventional Antimony Trioxide Systems
  • Better penetration of the substrate.
  • Less pigmenting or whitening effect for deep mass tone colors.
  • Easier handling and processing: Liquid dispersions will not clog spray guns.
  • High flame retardant efficiency for minimal added weight or change in hand.
  • Greater cost effectiveness and improved color matching in mass tone colors.
  • Translucency for applications such as coatings, films, and laminates.
  • Suspension stability in low viscosity systems.
  • Maintenance of physical properties in thin films and fine denier fibers.
  • Easy compounding; no special dispersing equipment required.
  • High FR efficiency for minimal added weight or change in hand.

Use Level
1.5 - 8 % (In textile, paper, and plastics applications), 5 - 20 % (halogen use level)
Usage Level
  • The usage level of the various grades depends on the material being treated, the test procedure, the ratio of halogen to antimony oxide, and other ingredients being used.
  • It is not possible to predict flame retardance performance; therefore, experimental evaluation is required.
  • Typical ratios of halogen to antimony are 5:1 to 2:1.
