Why Are Flame Retardant Additives Required In Household Materials?

You must have witnessed that everyone is talking about including flame retardant and anti dripping additives in their product to provide greater value to the end customers in the industry. Many of you might wonder about the utility of flame retardancy in the products you offer.

 

Flame Retardancy: A Desirable Product Property

If you follow the news closely, you must have heard of fire breaking out and taking many lives. A lot of damage, destruction and harm to life and property is caused due to fires. To lessen this man-made calamity and prevent it from its very root, companies are manufacturing products which retard the flame and ensure that the household items that they provide do not catch fire easily.

 

Flame Retardants: A Brief

The primary purpose of flame retardants is  to protect the people from accidental fires. They achieve this goal by reducing the flammability of combustible materials such as plastics and synthetic polymers. Even fire codes emphasize and demand the employment of flame retardant in products such as insulating materials, electronics, electrical goods and many more similar household items. Fluorochemicals have been deemed to be successful in providing the quality of flame retardancy to materials, making them excellently fire resistant.

 

Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited is a prominent chemicals company in India that manufactures additives that render flame retardancy to materials and help processors offer products with fire resistant qualities.

 

Our anti dripping additive, I-SAN is utilised in polymer compounds like Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, Poly (p-phenylene oxide) (PPO), Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) and Polypropylene (PP) and is known for its excellent dispersibility in polymer resins and effectiveness in enhancing material properties.

 

Introduce fluoropolymers to get the desired flame retardant properties in various compounds. Collaborate with us to avail additives for better product performance.

Use Fire Retardant for Making your Polymers Fire Proof

Polymers are widely used in various applications. However, just like the majority of other organic compounds polymers are also flammable. These lightweight, high-performance polymeric materials offer many advantages in industrial as well as commercial applications, but they greatly increase the risk of fire because of their flammable property. To help overcome this issue Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFL) has come up with fluorine-based fire retardants catering to the material requirements of various industries.   Fire Retardant Chemistry   When a polymer comes into contact with flame, the following types of products are released: 1.     Combustible gases (like methane, ethane, and carbon monoxide) 2.     Noncombustible gases (like carbon dioxide, hydrogen bromide, and hydrogen chloride) 3.     Liquids which are partially degraded polymers 4.     Fine particles of the decomposing polymers 5.     Discrete solid in form of char or carbonaceous residue.     Among

How Flame Retardants & Anti Dripping Additives Function In Polymers?

The vast majority of polymer compounds which find a great many applications in diverse industries are inflammable. That's why these versatile materials sometimes find their usage being limited to those conditions where the probability of fire breaks are minimal.   Since we all are well aware that flames can take a monstrous form, destroying everything in its way, it is better to be safe than sorry. It is rightly said that prevention is better than cure. However, with a scientific mindset, we have not just one way to go about things but many. For enlarging the vast array of employment of polymer compounds, Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited have come up with effective Anti Dripping Additives that don't let the polymer material drip away or catch fire easily when introduced to a flame.   Here is a rundown on how Flame Retardant Additives do their magic and make polymer compounds fireproof.   ●      Vapor Phase Inhibition . The flame retardant additives excellently di
