A Review of Antimony Trioxide Replacements for Formulated FR  Thermoplastic Polymers

Increase your formulation knowledge of alternative approaches to replacing antimony trioxide in key FR thermoplastic applications.
 

Abstract

Due to recent supply constraints on antimony trioxide (ATO) and related antimony compounds as well as mounting environmental, health and safety concerns, the marketplace has been looking for ATO replacements in halogenated flame retarded formulations. This presentation explores the current ATO situation, why ATO is unique and  summarizes literature, patent and PINFA supplier information for complete ATO replacement while achieving a UL 94 V0 rating in major thermoplastic halogenated systems. This online presentation provides a good starting point for formulators dealing with this challenging situation.

​

Who Should AttendFormulators, technical marketing, technical sales, material scientists, academia, government authorities and all interested stakeholders.
