Information
XF®T-Series Fire Retardant Systems are inorganic additives designed for use as a flame retardant systems for a wide variety of applications
Signifi cant improvements in flame-retarding properties can be achieved, especially in char formation and thermal stability.
These products are free from halogen compounds and can be effective in combination with halogen and non-halogen fi re retardant systems.
Application
- Composites
- Wire & Cable
- Flooring
- Wall and textile coatings
- Paints
XF®T-Series fi re retardants are suitable for use in industrial and decorative coatings, engineering plastics, cable & wiring and rubber compounds.
Addition rates are typically in the range of 5 - 15% by weight of formulation.
