Flame-Retardant Synergists in Masterbatch Form
Tolsa is launching masterbatch capability for its Adins FR products at K 2022

New masterbatch capability for its Adins range of additives for flame retardancy is being launched at K 2022 by Tolsa S.A. The Adins portfolio is comprised of a versatile range of additives for polymers that act as synergists with halogen and halogen-free flame retardant systems. They are reportedly a highly suitable alternative to antimony trioxide (ATO) whose safety is under regulatory study due to toxicity and carcinogenicity concerns.
The masterbatch capability provides another format for the company to market its products for a range of markets. Masterbatches offer a significant advantage by facilitating the incorporation and dispersion of Adins additives in polymeric compounds, thus improving the performance and properties that these synergists provide. Tolsa has started to commercialize new masterbatch products for different systems within the wire & cable sector including EVA, TPE/TPU, CPE, and rubber formulations.
