Features
- Flame Retardancy: Acts as an additive flame retardant, effectively reducing the flammability of polyurethane foams and other synthetic resins.
- Plasticizing Properties: Improves the pliability, durability, and processing characteristics of various polymers and coatings.
- Compatibility: Highly compatible with a wide range of resins, including polyurethane (PU), PVC, EVA, phenolics, and epoxy resins.
- Thermal Stability: While it decomposes upon heating to high temperatures, it remains stable under normal processing conditions for most foam and plastic manufacturing.
Applications
- Polyurethane Foam: Extensively used in the production of both rigid and flexible polyurethane foams found in furniture, automotive interiors, and building insulation.
- Construction & Building Materials: Integrated into laminates, coatings, and building construction materials to meet fire safety standards.
- Consumer Products: Found in various household items, including nursing pillows, mattresses, and furniture upholstery, where flame retardancy is required.
- Textiles & Electronics: Utilized in the treatment of textiles and within electronic components to enhance fire resistance.
