Products in Tooling & Moldmaking

Flamtard H (zinc hydroxystannate) is an insoluble, non-hazardous, antimony-free flame retardant synergist that inhibits the development of flames and smoke in polymers. In halogen-containing polymers, the material has both condensed and vapor phase action during combustion. At 220 °C, the material releases 15w% of water, then at higher temperatures (400 °C - 600 °C) zinc and tin ions exert catalytic activity that inhibits the radical chain reaction causing the flame. In halogen-free polymers Flamtard H can increase the char consistency and strength.

Flamtard S (zinc stannate) is an insoluble, non-hazardous, antimony-free flame retardant synergist, and is increasingly being used in green applications, particularly in the electronics industry. It is extremely effective in PVC systems for cable sheathing, epoxy resins for printed circuit boards, polyamides and surface coatings. Flamtard S is thermally stable up to 400 °C; at higher temperatures (400 °C - 600 °C) zinc and tin ions exert catalytic activity that inhibits the radical chain reaction causing the flame.

Carnauba Wax is obtained from the leaves of the Brazilian palm tree known as ‘Copernica Cerifera’, also referred to as the "Tree of Life". The Carnauba palm flourishes in northeastern regions within Brazil, and proliferates naturally along riverbanks, streams and damp low-lands.The tree exudes wax through the petioles of its fan-shaped leaves, which prevents dehydration in the equatorial climate. The palm leaves, harvested in the dry months occurring from August through December, are sun-dried and mechanically thrashed to separate the wax from the leaf. The color and quality of the wax are governed by the age of the leaves and care used in processing.
