Details:

Firebrake® ZB is a unique form of zinc borate with multi-functional fire retardant applications in plastic and rubber compounds. Since Firebrake ZB releases its water of hydration at temperatures exceeding 290°C (554°F), it can be used in systems requiring high processing temperatures. Firebrake ZB has a refractive index similar to that of most polymer systems, which results in the retention of considerable translucency and allows the use of low pigment loading. It can be fed to extruders, calenders, or injection molding equipment in much the same way as other solid polymer additives.

Firebrake ZB is used as a flame retardant, smoke and afterglow suppressant, and anti-arcing agent in polymer systems such as polyvinyl chloride, nylon, epoxy, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyesters, thermoplastic elastomers and rubbers.
