Advanced Synergistic Flame Retardant Technology

Elevate your flame retardant systems with Antimony Trioxide (Sb₂O₃), the industry-leading synergist that maximises the effectiveness of halogenated flame retardants in demanding applications.

Understanding Antimony Trioxide

Antimony Trioxide represents sophisticated flame retardant technology, functioning as a powerful synergist that dramatically enhances the performance of halogenated flame retardants. This white, crystalline compound operates through a complex chemical mechanism during fire conditions. When combined with halogenated flame retardants, Antimony Trioxide creates a powerful gas-phase flame inhibition system that effectively interrupts the combustion process. This synergistic action allows manufacturers to achieve superior flame retardancy with lower overall additive loading levels.

The compound's effectiveness stems from its ability to form volatile antimony halides during fire conditions. These compounds create a protective barrier in the flame zone, significantly reducing the spread of fire. This mechanism of action makes Antimony Trioxide particularly valuable in applications where high levels of flame retardancy must be achieved while maintaining material properties.
