When selecting flame retardants for plastics, rubber, textiles, and coatings, manufacturers face a critical decision impacting product safety, regulatory compliance, and environmental footprint. While traditional flame retardants have served industries for decades, the emergence of advanced materials like zinc borate offers significant advantages. Ningbo Inno Pharmchem Co., Ltd. offers this cutting-edge solution, enabling companies to achieve superior fire safety without compromising on environmental responsibility.

Zinc borate is fundamentally different from many older flame retardant technologies. Primarily, it is a halogen-free compound. This is a crucial distinction, as halogenated flame retardants can release toxic and corrosive gases when exposed to fire. In contrast, zinc borate is recognized for its low toxicity and its role as an eco-friendly alternative. This makes it an increasingly preferred flame retardant for PVC and PP applications where environmental and health concerns are paramount.

One of the key benefits of zinc borate is its high thermal stability. Unlike some organic flame retardants that decompose at lower temperatures, zinc borate maintains its integrity, providing sustained fire protection. This characteristic is vital for materials that may be exposed to elevated temperatures during processing or use. Furthermore, zinc borate is an exceptionally effective smoke suppressant for polymers. By inhibiting the release of volatile organic compounds during combustion, it significantly reduces smoke production, thereby improving visibility and escape routes in the event of a fire. This property is a major advantage for applications in enclosed spaces or public transportation.

The synergistic capabilities of zinc borate further enhance its value. It works exceptionally well in combination with other flame retardants, such as alumina trihydrate, magnesium hydroxide, and red phosphorus. This synergy allows for lower overall additive loadings, reducing costs and potentially preserving the mechanical properties of the base material. As a synergistic flame retardant additive, zinc borate can optimize the performance of fire-retardant systems, making it a versatile tool for formulators.
