FLAME RETARDANT ADDITIVES AND APPLICATIONS

1. Definition

A flame retardant is a substance that can delay or inhibit the spread of a flame by preventing chemical reactions that produce combustion or by forming a protective layer on the surface of a material. They can act chemically or physically in the gaseous or solid phase through complex chemical reactions that cease to sustain combustion.

The advantages of flame retardant additives increase the ignition temperature of the material, slow down the burning rate, reduce the rate of heat release, prevent the growth of flame and reduce the amount of smoke produced.

2. Combination of flame retardant additive Antimony trioxide (ATO) with decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE)

Antimony trioxide acts as a facilitator, enhancing the effectiveness of halogenated flame retardants. Antimony trioxide is especially widely used in combination with decabromodiphenyl ethane.

Antimony trioxide itself is not flame retardant, however, when used in combination with decabromodiphenyl ethane, the synergistic effect of this mixture imparts flame retardant properties. Antimony trioxide reacts with halogenated compounds and produces chemical compounds, which give a flame retardant function. The combination of antimony trioxide and decabromodiphenyl ethane makes it difficult to ignite and reduces flame propagation. Antimony trioxide inhibits heat generation by redirecting combustion into a chemical reaction that produces no heat and absorbs it. Antimony trioxide also promotes char formation, protects the substrate from heat, and minimizes the diffusion of volatiles into the flame.

3. Application

To meet the best fire resistance with each different type of plastic, the content of use is also different.

For ABS plastic, the combination of Antimony trioxide (ATO) with decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) not only increases the fire resistance but also improves the base resin's thermal stability and reduces the amount of combustible gas.

For PP resin, the combination of Antimony trioxide (ATO) with decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) enhances coal formation and reduces the rate of heat release during material combustion.

With the highly effective flame retardant ability of the combination of Antimony trioxide (ATO) with decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) in the plastic industry, it has attracted great interest from companies producing flame retardant materials.
