Silapore™ Polymer Additives
Build Flame Retardancy into
Plastics with No Sacrifice in Strength
Silapore™ additives are highly porous, amorphous silicate particles in the sub-micron size range. Their very high surface area greatly improves flame retardant properties of polymers while improving tensile and flexural strength.
- Catalytic Char Formation – Silapore additives create ceramic char – and, in some plastics, carbonaceous char – to retard burning. More »
- Polymer Reinforcement – Silapore additives improve resin properties and help offset any losses in mechanical properties caused by other flame retardants in the system. More »
- Inorganic and Halogen-Free – Silapore additives pose no risk to the environment or human health when used with normal industrial handling and hygienic practices. More »
- Environmentally Stable – Silapore additives will not break down or change significantly due to temperature extremes or other environmental conditions. More »
- Compounder Friendly – Silapore additives create highly effective thermoplastic compounds when conventional equipment and processes for mixing and blending are employed. More »
