Flame Retardants

Flame retardants are chemicals designed to restrict, slow down, or prevent the flammability of vulcanizates made from natural rubber and synthetic rubber blends. In this context, they aim to create flame-retardant, flame-resistant, or self-extinguishing vulcanizates. Under direct exposure to fire, the material should burn and immediately extinguish upon removal of the ignition source.

The most well-known flame retardants include chlorinated paraffins as well as inorganic substances such as zinc borate, antimony trioxide, and aluminum hydroxide. Also, chlorinated rubber types exhibit flame-resistant properties. By adding flame retardants to CR vulcanizates, even stricter requirements regarding flame resistance can be met.

We would be delighted to provide you with a customized offer tailored to your needs. You can easily reach us by phone or use our contact form. We look forward to hearing from you and will gladly provide you with technical data sheets and safety data sheets for our products.

Antimony trioxide

Antimony trioxide is widely recognized as a versatile flame retardant and plays a crucial role in enhancing the fire resistance of rubber compounds. It acts as a flame-retardant synergist, effectively inhibiting the combustion process and reducing the risk of fire spread. Our high-quality antimony trioxide is carefully processed to ensure optimal performance and consistency in your rubber applications.

Chlorinated paraffins

As a proven flame retardant additive, chlorinated paraffins offer excellent flame retardant properties and thermal stability in rubber compounds. Their function is to form a protective char layer when exposed to heat or flames, thereby limiting the spread of fire and minimizing smoke generation. Our high-quality chlorinated paraffins meet the highest quality and reliability standards, ensuring unparalleled fire protection for your rubber formulations.
