Since it is borate based, Bulab® Flamebloc will provide char formation and subsequent smoke suppression. This product is recommended for applications with stringent smoke requirements. It performs best when used as a synergist with halogen containing compounds. In many applications, Bulab® Flamebloc can be used as a partial or total replacement for antimony based compounds. Substitution of Bulab® Flamebloc for antimony trioxide in fire retardant products can provide the following benefits: raw material cost savings, reduced smoke, improved resistance to flameless combustion (afterglow suppression), and reduced toxicity of fumes emitted during combustion. view less | |

Because it is multifunctional, Busan® 11-M2 can replace several products commonly formulated into coating systems, simplifying formulating and lowering costs. Busan® 11-M2 is based on barium metaborate monohydrate. Due to the low refractive index (1.55–1.60), it can be used in a wide variety of colors, whites, and even clears. Busan® 11-M2 is composed of substances approved for use under 21 CFR § 176.180 of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations. view less | |

The product’s multifunctionality enables it to replace several products commonly formulated into coatings systems, thereby simplifying formulating. Because this pigment is ground to 1.5 microns, there is an increased surface area which can give equal or greater performance at lower use levels than other protective pigments. Butrol® 9140 is composed of substances approved for use under 21 CFR § 176.180 of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations. view less |
