Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Flame Retardants

ABS-XT-22M Bromine Antimony Flame Retardant Masterbatch for ABS

ABS-XT-22M is a bromine–antimony flame retardant masterbatch designed for ABS and ABS-based alloys. It uses a CPE carrier that supports clean processing, uniform dispersion, and consistent performance. At 20 to 22 percent loading, it enables ABS compounds to reach UL94 V-0 at 2 mm while maintaining mechanical balance and processing stability. Its pelletised, dust-free form improves handling and reduces contamination during blending and molding.

Attributes

Key Features and Benefits

Achieves UL94 V-0 at 2 mm with a 20–22 percent dosage for reliable flame performance.
Resists thermal decomposition up to ≥220 °C, supporting standard ABS molding conditions.
Fine dispersion ensures uniform flame retardancy across molded components.
Granular, dust-free form improves workplace cleanliness and prevents material loss.
Pellet structure supports accurate dosing and consistent feed behaviour.
Allows direct injection molding with no need for extra stabilisers or compatibilisers.
Maintains tensile, impact, and flexural properties within normal ABS tolerance ranges.
Reduces blending stages and processing time for cost-efficient production.
RoHS and REACH compliance ensures suitability for regulated and indoor applications.
