In recent years, although the research on new fire retardants has been strengthened, no fundamental new flame retardant system has been developed, which shows that we have not fully grasped the mechanism of synergistic reaction. Experts believe that fire retardants prepared by synergistic reactions will become more and more popular. What we need to do is to improve the flame retardant efficiency of fire retardants to meet their production and use standards. In the following, Dow Chemical tells you what is the synergistic effect of fire retardants.

Many minerals work synergistically with flame retardants, such as thermosetting materials consisting of borate and hydrated minerals where synergistic effects can be observed. More and more practice shows that the proper addition of inorganic mineral filler fire retardant can provide more flame retardant properties. The most important synergistic flame retardant compounds are antimony oxide and halogen donor compounds. Their application prospects are promising, especially for thermoplastic engineering plastics. In the flame retardant technology, the synergistic effect can not only derive more effective flame retardant systems, but also reduce the use of other flame retardants, and make a great contribution to improving the flame retardant efficiency of flame retardants.
