Flame retardants are chemical compounds designed to provide passive fire protection to flammable materials under specific fire risks. The fire protection provided by these chemicals can vary from ignition resistance to slowing of flame spread, reduction in smoke and toxic gas. Fire retardant additives are compounds incorporated into polymeric materials during the manufacturing process and have the potential to perform a wide range of safety measures if chosen and implemented properly.   No Universal Flame Retardant   It is important to remember that every fire retardant solution is customized for a specific polymer and to withstand a specific resistance test. There is no universal retardant! Each fire retardant compound has different physical, chemical and toxicological properties, this means no two chemicals are exactly the same and are not universally interchangeable for example, Flame retardant additives for polypropylene is different from those for polyethylene, po...

If you are in the plastic products business, the chances are that many must have recommended Fire Retardant Additives for better plastic performance. Including anti dripping agents has become a norm in the industries to make the material have the characteristics of flame retardation which prevents the ignition of fire, thereby, possible disasters.   Why are additives included in polymer compounds? Additives have been incorporated in polymers by the manufacturers to enhance material efficiency and introduce properties like flexibility, durability and much more so that the end products are better and provide more value to the customers. Many a time, there are specific parameters one requires to meet to deliver a product, polymer additives are employed to make sure the product manufactured meets the specific requirements and is employed by a greater number of people and experiences substantial sales.   Why are flame retardant additives included in plastic? We all ar...

Every product is designed to provide greater value to your customers. Processors ensure that the product fulfils the needs of the target audience, wooing them with its unique selling propositions while helping businesses meet their goals in terms of sales.      In the manufacturing industry, there is a lot of talk about raising the products' value for the end users by including anti dripping and flame retardant additives in them. This makes many wonder about the utility that flame retardancy adds to the products offered.   Why are anti dripping properties and flame retardancy in products so desirable? You must have heard a ton about fires breaking out, now and then, and leading to great life and property loss. The newspapers are always filled with such sad instances every few months. Fire is a great deterrent to life. When uncontrolled, it spreads and burns everything in its way to ashes and causes enormous damage and destruction.   That is why ...
