Great Lakes: retardants and stabilizers

15/09/2004

The company presents the latest additions to its range of retardants to flame and stabilizers of polymeric, including those based on bromine, phosphorus, antimony and other synergistic agents, as well as launch new stabilizing systems of polymers that incorporate a wide range of absorbent UVstabilizers to the UV light based on disabled amines (HALS), agents/clarifiers antioxidants and nucleators.

Great Lakes, the largest manufacturer of retardants flame of the world, wide product portfolio with the addition of two new retardant flame to be used in electrical components such as connectors, relays and switches. Firemaster BP411, brominated polystyrene flame retardant additive, and the Firemaster CP-44HF, a copolymer of styrene polibromado, complement the existing range of retardants flame of styrene bromado for engineering thermoplastic resins. Each product shows a performance unique in the areas of thermal stability, flow and resistance to blisters in thermoplastic polyesters and polyamides for high temperature applications.

The launch of a third product at the show will introduce a retardant to flame without halogen for polyurethane foam. This additive will be used primarily in the automotive industry to help manufacturers comply with increasingly stringent emission specifications.

In April 2004, Great Lakes announced the creation of GLCC Laurel LLC, a joint venture between Great Lakes and Laurel Industries. This means that in addition to the existing range Great Lakes of retardants flame based on antimony and synergistic, in the 2004 K is displayed also line PetCat trioxide of antimony in high quality efficiency used as a catalyst in the manufacture of polyethylene (PET) terephthalate.

Great Lakes already offers to the market one of the most extensive ranges of polymer stabilizers, however, the company continues to expand her with the introduction of new complementary products.
