Dry Powder Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide Flame Retardant Additives

BurnEx Plus™ A1588LP,  BurnEx Plus ™ A1590

Nyacol Nano Technologies, Inc. offers dry powder colloidal antimony pentoxide for use as a synergist with halogenated flame retardants in high performance epoxy.
 

Advantages over conventional antimony trioxide system:

·       Strong absorption properties to purify insulation and encapsulation polymers

·       Low chemical reactivity that will not interfere with electroless plating solutions

·       Free-flowing particles for exceptional consistency, better mixing and easy processing

·       Non-pigmenting for light transmission and mass tone colors.

 

Summary

Form:

BurnEx Plus A1588LP and BurnEx Plus A1590 are powders made by spray drying aqueous solutions of colloidal antimony pentoxide.  A1588LP and A1590 have acidic surfaces and they are free-flowing agglomerates about 10-30 microns in size.

Function:

BurnEx Plus A1588LP and BurnEx Plus A1590 are designed for flame retardant applications where a powder form of antimony pentoxide is preferred over liquid forms.  Antimony oxide flame retardant synergists are always used with a source of halogen such as organic bromine and/or chorine materials.  Antimony pentoxide will absorb metallic impurities in epoxy used in electronic applications and improve long term performance.

Products

A1588LP is an acidic surface material which will absorb metallic ions and improve the properties of insulation and encapsulation polymers by effectively tying up these ionic impurities.  A1588LP contains about 3-4% sodium and some water of hydration.

A1590 is a sodium-free version of A1588LP. A1590 contains about 10% trivalent antimony oxide and some water of hydration.
