Fire retardant synergists
- Halogen-free
- RoHS compliant
- Reduce smoke & toxic gas production
- Reduce heat release rate
- Improves ash strength
- Reduce spread of flame
Information
XF® Series Synergists are inorganic additives designed to enhance the performance of flame retardant systems.
The range is free from halogen compounds and will be effective with halogen and halogen-free fire retardant systems.
Application
- Composites
- Wire & Cable
- Flooring
- Wall and textile coatings
- Paints
XF® Series should be considered whenever an improvement to fire retardant systems is required for wire & cable, flooring, wall & textile coatings, composites, transparent systems (including gel coats) and paints.
Addition rates are typically in the range of 5 - 15% by weight of formulation.
