What is a Flame-retardant Compounds?
The function and application of flame-retardant compounds are similar to those of their masterbatch counterparts discussed. The key difference is that a masterbatch is added to the machine as an additive to impart specific properties and is combined with the polymer. In contrast, a flame-retardant compound is introduced as the main material from the beginning of the production process.
Flame-retardant compounds are particularly significant because, as noted in the article on anti-static masterbatch, the risk of ignition in polymeric materials stored in warehouses is a concerning issue.
Applications of Flame-retardant Compounds in Industries
Given the points mentioned, the importance of this material. This section addresses the industries with the highest demand for and consumption of this material:
Automotive Industry: Flame retardant compounds are utilized in the plastic components of vehicles, particularly in the interior parts such as seats and dashboards, to prevent the spread of fire in the event of a vehicle fire.
Household Appliances: Notably, flame retardant compounds are used in the manufacturing of most household appliances, including refrigerators, televisions, and washing machines, to ensure consumer safety.
Packaging: Goods must ultimately be packaged, and they may spend considerable time in warehouses or in transit. Since accidents can happen, employing flame retardant compounds in the production of safe and compliant packaging is invaluable.
