The important role and application trend of flame retardant masterbatch in plastic products

In the fields of electrical appliances, automobiles, building materials, etc., fire resistance is becoming an important standard for product compliance and market access. Especially in the European and American markets, fire tests such as UL94 and EN13501 have become a threshold that plastic products must pass.

Traditional plastics are flammable materials and are prone to fire. Flame retardant masterbatch is a safe and efficient flame retardant solution.

Principles and types of flame retardant masterbatch
Flame retardant masterbatch is made by mixing flame retardants and carrier resins (such as PE, PP, ABS, etc.) at high temperature, and is directly mixed with plastic raw materials in proportion when used.

Common types include:

Halogen flame retardant masterbatch: high flame retardant efficiency, low cost, suitable for scenes with lax environmental protection requirements

Halogen-free environmentally friendly flame retardant masterbatch: no corrosive gas, suitable for electronic appliances, automobiles and other fields

Phosphorus and nitrogen flame retardant masterbatch: low smoke and non-toxic, suitable for high-end market needs

Why choose flame retardant masterbatch?

1. Easy processing and strong compatibility
   Compared with powdered flame retardants, flame retardant masterbatches are more suitable for modern automated production lines, with no dust pollution, no die blocking, and better dispersion.
2. Stable performance and significant flame retardant effect
   Plastic products can achieve UL94 V-0 and V-2 flame retardant grades, inhibit the spread of flames and reduce smoke release.
3. Multifunctional fusion
   Can be used with color masterbatches, anti-UV, and antistatic masterbatches to achieve flame retardant + multifunctional integration.
