The ATO Supply Challenge Demands a Shift: Meet ATO-Free FR by Tosaf
The global flame-retardant market is facing significant challenges. The sharp rise in antimony trioxide (ATO) prices and the resulting supply shortages are disrupting the availability and cost of traditional halogenated flame retardants. ATO, a key synergist in many brominated FR masterbatches, has been at the core of these disruptions.
Introducing an ATO-Free, Cost-Effective Alternative with Stable Supply
Tosaf introduces FR8719PP EU, a high-performance, cost-effective, halogen-free flame retardant masterbatch that delivers ATO-free fire protection while maintaining the same level of performance as conventional FRs. In addition to its superior flame-retardant capabilities, FR8719PP EU offers a reliable alternative that ensures stable supply and protects manufacturers from the price volatility and supply chain uncertainties increasingly affecting traditional flame retardant solutions.
Halogen-Free and Regulation-Compliant
This solution supports a transition to safer, greener, and more regulation-compliant manufacturing in sectors like construction, automotive, and cable protection.
Proven Performance with Low Dosages
Tosaf’s ATO-free solution for PP is specifically designed for extruded and injected polypropylene applications. With effective flame retardancy at dosages as low as 3%-10%, it delivers UL94 V2 performance without compromising the mechanical properties of the material. While intumescent additives often require loadings above 20%, FR8719PP EU for PP achieves flame retardancy at lower dosages, without compromising mechanical strength. The low dosage also leads to better processability with minimal die build-up, making production cleaner and more efficient.
Tailored to Your Needs
As part of Tosaf’s broader halogen-free FR portfolio, FR8719PP EU is adaptable to a wide range of PP grades, melt flow indexes (MFI), and part geometries. Whether you require a high-efficiency solution for a specific application or a versatile product for various use cases, FR8719PP EU is designed to offer performance you can trust.
While Tosaf continues to offer brominated and chlorinated flame retardants for certain applications that contain ATO, FR8719PP EU provides a sustainable, reliable alternative in an increasingly uncertain market.
Note: Dosage should be optimized based on resin type, resin’s melt flow index, product thickness, and the presence of other additives, as these factors can influence the required loading level
A Smart Choice in Uncertain Times
As the availability of traditional halogenated flame retardants declines, FR8719PP EU presents a future-proof solution – offering ATO-free, halogen-free, cost-effective, and high-performance benefits without compromise. Manufacturers can stay ahead of market disruptions and embrace a more sustainable future with confidence.
