Our Applications

• Wire & Cable Flamtard products are used as flame retardant synergists for replacing antimony trioxide in wire & cable formulations. They can also provide additional smoke reduction alongside other flame retardant additives.
• PVC Leather The hazardous nature of antimony trioxide is leading to artificial leather manufacturers to replace this in applications that require flame and smoke suppression. Flamtard products can be used to replace antimony in this application.
• Elastomers Halogenated elastomers such as PVC nitrile can use Flamtard products to replace antimony trioxide as the primary flame retardant synergist. Flamtard products are also synergistic with brominated flame retardants in non-halogenated rubbers such as EPDM.
• Composites Flamtard products can be used in a flame retardant package to provide additional smoke suppression and a reduction in heat release in epoxy and unsaturated polyester thermosets.
• Coatings PVC-based industrial coatings often require flame retardant additives. Flamtard can be used as a non-hazardous replacement for traditional hazardous additives.
• Flooring Flamtard products can be used to impart flame retardant properties to PVC-based flooring and also provide additional smoke suppression where stringent smoke release standards are required.
• PVC Membranes Flexible PVC compounds require flame retardant additives as a result of the flammable plasticisers that are used to impart flexible properties.
• Polyamide Flamtard S is used as a flame retardant and smoke suppressant synergist alongside brominated flame retardants in engineering plastics such as polyamide 6 and polyamide 6,6.
• Technical Textiles Flamtard products can be used as the primary flame retardant synergist in PVC-coated textiles and as a smoke suppressant additive in non-halogenated coated textile systems.
