    Plastics & Elastomers End Uses
    Applications
    • Zinc Hydroxystannate (ZHS) can replace Molybdenum Trioxide in PVC FRLS cable compound
    • ZHS was developed initially for use on halogen containing polymer formulation, especially flexible PVC for wires and cables
    • Zinc Hydroxystannate (ZHS) can provide Oxygen Index as well as Smoke Suppressant properties
    • By adding Antimony Trioxide you get oxygen index but smoke increases, while by adding ZHS you get oxygen index as well as smoke suppressant properties
