Zinc borate
Zinc Borate (CAS 1332-07-6) is a versatile, multi-functional flame retardant and smoke suppressant used in plastics, rubber, and specialized coatings.
Description
Comprehensive Product Overview
In the competitive landscape of fire safety additives, thermal decomposition efficiency and smoke density reduction define the final outcome. Zyntex Zinc Borate is selected for its ability to act as a synergistic agent with alumina trihydrate (ATH) or magnesium hydroxide, enhancing the fire resistance of polymers without compromising their mechanical properties. Therefore, we provide a high-purity crystalline powder that acts as a robust char-forming promoter. Consequently, this versatile ingredient delivers reliable performance across a wide range of industrial conditions, ensuring that PVC, polyolefins, and engineering plastics meet stringent fire safety standards.
Zyntex supplies Zinc Borate in a clean, white odorless powder form, optimized for easy integration into complex compounding and masterbatch synthesis. Our stringent quality control measures ensure a precise particle size distribution and high dehydration temperatures (starting above 290°C). Furthermore, this product features exceptional anti-tracking and arc-resistance properties in electrical components. Since it is effective at inhibiting fungal growth, you can incorporate it into various wood composites or specialized paints without affecting the environmental compliance or the long-term durability of the finished product.
From specialized laboratory research to large-scale industrial manufacturing, this versatile borate is a staple for modern material science. Its consistent chemical profile ensures it functions effectively as an afterglow suppressant and a corrosion inhibitor in protective coatings. As a result, Zyntex provides a dependable foundation for innovation in the “halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR)” and “advanced construction materials” markets. Finally, our commitment to chemical quality helps your brand achieve international safety and manufacturing standards effortlessly.
