Zinc Borate

Product Overview

Zinc Borate is a high-performance inorganic compound widely recognized for its exceptional flame retardant and smoke suppressant properties. As a key speciality chemical, it serves as a critical additive in various industrial formulations, particularly within the plastics, rubber, and coatings sectors. Our premium grade Zinc Borate is manufactured under strict quality control standards to ensure consistent particle size and chemical composition, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers seeking reliable fire safety solutions without compromising material integrity.

This compound functions effectively as a synergist when used alongside other halogen-free flame retardants. Upon exposure to heat, it releases water of crystallization and forms a protective glassy layer on the surface of the substrate. This barrier mechanism inhibits oxygen access and reduces the release of combustible gases, thereby significantly enhancing the fire resistance of the final product. Furthermore, Zinc Borate offers additional benefits such as improved arc tracking resistance and reduced afterglow, making it indispensable for electrical and electronic applications.
