FR-ZB (Zinc Borate) is a multifunctional inorganic flame retardant widely used in plastics, rubber, coatings, textiles, and wood composites. It acts synergistically with other flame retardants to enhance flame resistance, suppress smoke, and reduce afterglow, while also providing excellent resistance against fungal and termite attack in wood-based applications. With good thermal stability, low toxicity, and effectiveness at relatively low loadings, FR-ZB is an environmentally responsible choice that ensures superior fire protection without compromising mechanical properties or processing performance.
Applications of FR-ZB
- Used in polymers, plastics, and rubber compounds to enhance flame resistance and suppress smoke.
- Suitable for PVC, Polyolefins (PP, PE), Elastomers, Polyamides, and Epoxy Resins.
- Acts as a flame retardant, char promoter, smoke suppressant, and anti-arc agent.
- Can be used with Antimony Oxide in halogenated systems for synergistic performance.
- In halogen-free systems, it combines effectively with ATH, Mg(OH)₂, Red Phosphorus, and APP for optimal fire protection.
Advantages of FR-ZB
- Releases water at high temperatures, aiding fire suppression and cooling.
- Forms protective char layers, reducing flame spread.
- Improves chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and electrical performance in polymers.
- Multi-functional across plastic, rubber, coating, and textile applications.
- Provides low smoke emission and enhanced heat stability.
