1. Where are functional flame retardant masterbatches mainly used?


Functional flame retardant masterbatch is mainly used in plastic and rubber products injection molding and extrusion granulation, sheet, plastic sheet, glass fiber reinforced, wire drawing and other products.


2. How to use the functional flame retardant masterbatch, and what is the addition ratio?


Functional flame retardant masterbatch can be directly processed into products or pelletized. Due to different materials, fat-dissolving materials, fillers, etc., the addition ratio of various functional flame retardant masterbatches is also different, so a small test needs to be done before mass production.


3. Will the use of flame retardant masterbatch affect other properties of the product?


Reasonable functional flame retardant masterbatch is specially designed according to its different functional requirements to solve its compatibility with different resins, so that even when the resin is added in a large amount, it will not affect other properties of the material. Due to the continuous advancement of technology and equipment, the performance of functional flame retardant masterbatches has also been continuously improved. In many ways, direct mixing with the material produces a product that meets all performance requirements, with easier plasticization and higher yields. This greatly reduces the cost of the product and increases the added value of the product.


4. Will the use of functional flame retardant masterbatch increase the cost?


This is the case in most cases. However, in some cases it is more economical to use a flame retardant masterbatch than a flame retardant. To achieve the desired effect with several flame retardant combinations, two phenomena need to be considered:


(1) In many cases, the flame retardants used by plastic product manufacturers are not the most economical, and they are not familiar with flame retardants. It is very common to waste manpower and material resources through repeated tests during use. Focus on flame retardant production and provide free one-to-one technical guidance, so there is no such problem when using flame retardant masterbatch.


(2) The grades of products using flame retardant masterbatch are completely different from those using flame retardants, and the price is also higher, and the higher prices are often higher than those using flame retardants. The added cost, coupled with the elimination of labor and material costs, can instead create "profits" for flame retardant masterbatches. From this point of view, in some cases, the use of flame retardant masterbatches is more "economical" than the use of flame retardants.
