Colorants and polymer additives introduced.


Polymer additives such as flame retardants and plasticizers plasticizers

mostly triaryl phosphates, such as tricresyl, triphenyl phosphates, which are poisonous. See also triorthocresyl phosphate.
, and inorganic pigments and organic pigments in the form of microgranules for plastics coloration are provided by the company.

The firm offers a range of flame retardants based on phosphoric acid phosphoric acid, any one of three chemical compounds made up of phosphorus, oxygen, and hydrogen (see acids and bases). The most common, orthophosphoric acid, H3PO4, is usually simply called phosphoric acid.  esters. Areas of use include materials for the construction, electrical and automotive industries. Levagard flame retardants are particularly suited for use in rigid polyurethane foams and thermoset A polymer-based liquid or powder that becomes solid when heated, placed under pressure, treated with a chemical or via radiation. The curing process creates a chemical bond that, unlike a thermoplastic, prevents the material from being remelted. See thermoplastic.  materials.

 was developed specifically for use in rigid polyurethane foams. This low-viscosity product with a phosphorus content of more than 20% can be used to replace either all or some of the halogen-containing flame retardant typically used in formulations.

The halogen-free esters of phosphoric acid in the Disflamoll line are used as fame retardants for all types of polymers. Conveyor belts, v-belts and cable sheathing made from synthetic rubber are examples of applications in which Disflamoll comes into its own as a flame retardant with a plasticizing effect, according to the company.

For the rubber processing industry, a low-viscosity, polymeric plasticizer based on phthalic acid, Ultramoll PP II, has been specially developed. It can be used to produce soft rubber articles such as NBR NBR Number

 printing rollers without the risk of any significant amount of the plasticizer being exuded, according to the company. Ultramoll PP II can also be used in the PVC PVC: see polyvinyl chloride.
