Portaflame® SG 30 LV

1 of 29 products in this brand
Portaflame® SG 30 LV is produced from carefully selected synthetic aluminum hydroxide (ATH). The standardized quality of Portaflame® SG 30 LV is guaranteed by means of an ISO 9001-certified quality management plan. The chemical composition of the raw material and the finished product is closely monitored, and the particle size is kept within a narrow variation. Portaflame® SG 30 LV is a "low viscosity" optimized grade with an exceptional low oil absorption value, giving the formulator the opportunity to achieve higher loading levels. Portaflame® SG 30 LV makes formulations that are flame retardant.

Features & Benefits

Features and Benefits
  • Portaflame® SG 30 LV ground halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR) filler is used in a broad range of applications, e.g. SMC & BMC, carpet backing, potting resins, sealants, adhesives and polymer concrete. Their flame-retarding action is based mainly upon the endothermic decomposition of metal hydroxide (heat-sink effect) and simultaneous release of water vapor. This reaction starts at about 200°C. In addition to flame retardancy,
  • Portaflame® SG 30 LV possesses a strong smoke-suppressing ability. It is not classified as a dangerous substance (DSD and CLP) and do not contain Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), including their decomposition products from fire.
