BurnEx® ADP494

1 of 12 products in this brand
BurnEx® ADP494 is powders made by spray-drying aqueous solutions of colloidal antimony pentoxide. These grades are surface-treated to aid dispersion to colloidal size. All are free-flowing agglomerates approximately 10-40 microns in size.

Functions: Flame Retardant, Synergist

Synonyms: Antimonic oxide, Antimony oxide, Antimony oxide (Sb2O5), Antimony pentoxide (Sb2O5), Antimony(V) oxide, Diantimony pentaoxide, Diantimony pentoxide

Features & Benefits

Advantages Over Conventional Antimony Trioxide Systems
  • Low chemical reactivity will not interfere with electroless plating solutions.
  • Non-pigmenting for light transmission and mass tone colors.
  • Disperses to nano-size particles.
  • Free-flowing particles provide exceptional consistency, better mixing and easy processing.
Function

BurnEx A1582, BurnEx ADP480 and BurnEx ADP494 act as synergists with halogen flame retardants. The nano-sized antimony pentoxide allows greater retention of the original physical properties in most systems.

Applications & Uses

Application

Epoxy resins can be blended with BurnEx ADP494 dissolved in a ketone, and used to completely impregnate a reinforcement to produce a transparent laminate. BurnEx ADP494 can be blended into ABS, HIPS and polypropylene in compounding equipment such as a twin screw extruder.

Since both BurnEx ADP494 contain some free and chemically bonded water, it is important that the compounding equipment be vented. In hot melt adhesive applications, some foaming may occur during the initial melt blending.
