Flame retardant synergists are widely used as plastic additives to ensure the safer use of plastic materials in various applications. For many applications, such as wire and cable, as well as electric and electronic products, the use of flame retardant synergists is mandatory as part of the non-conducting insulation materials. 


These flame retardant synergists enhance the fire resistance of plastics. By incorporating flame retardant synergists, manufacturers can meet regulatory requirements and improve the overall safety of their products. The effectiveness of flame retardant synergists is essential for industries that prioritize fire safety in their materials.

What Are Flame Retardants?

What Are Flame Retardants?

Flame retardant synergists are types of polymer additives and chemicals added to materials such as plastics to prevent them from burning.

There are hundreds of different flame retardant synergists, often grouped by their chemical structure and properties.

The most common flame retardant additives for plastics are halogenated compounds, especially bromine-based flame retardants. Other common flame retardants include: Phosphorus-based, melamine, phosphate, metal hydroxide, silicon-based.

TINTOLL flame retardant synergists can be active or reactive. Reactive flame retardants are incorporated into polymers during the manufacturing process, while reactive flame retardants are inserted into polymer molecules. Both types can suppress fires in vapor and condensate states.

Flame retardant synergists can prevent materials from catching fire, slow or extinguish fires, and protect materials from heat. They do not stop charring or melting, or increase the heat resistance of a material.
