Zinc Borate CAS: 138265-88-0
zinc borate is a low toxicity, white crystalline, inorganic compound primarily used as a flame retardant and smoke suppressant in plastics and cellulose fibers, paper, rubbers and textiles. It is also used in paints, adhesives and pigments.As a flame retardant, zinc borate can replace antimony trioxide as a synergist in both halogen-based and halogen-free systems.zinc borate is also used as a flame retardant in vinyl chloride latex formulations.
Zinc Borate Flame Retardant
Zinc borate is a nontoxic, environmentally friendly flame retardant widely used in plastics, rubber, and coatings due to its excellent thermal stability and low solubility.
Zinc borate, with the chemical formula 2ZnO·3B2O3·3.5H2O, finds wide usage across several industries due to its flame retardant and smoke suppressing properties. The chemical properties of this compound render it particularly desirable in an array of applications, which include its use in paints, textiles, plastics, and wood composites.
