CHARGUARD™ 2000
Fire Retardant Synergist
CHARGUARD™ 2000 is an organically modified mineral thickener most suitable for compounding in combination with fire retardants in low to intermediate polarity thermoplastic resin systems. The usage of CHARGUARD™ 2000 as a synergist at total formulation weight levels of from 3.5% to 5% may lead for improvements in fire retardant protection performance leading to cost savings, reduced environmental impact, and potentially improved material properties.
Key properties
- Does not contain intentionally added Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
- Enhances the effectiveness of non-halogenated and halogenated fire retardants by delaying the combustion process and stopping the spread of molten flame drip.
- Creates char layer oxygen barrier which is non-flammable and reduces the availability of combustible gases generated during thermal decomposition.
- Reduces the amount of smoke produced in a fire; a significant factor in improving fire safety and survivability.
