Applications
  • Charmax™ LS Z8AF is designed to reduce smoke emissions and promote char formation in halogenated polymers. It can be formulated to partially replace smoke suppressants such as AOM and is formulated with ATH and Magnesium Hydroxide for improved smoke performance. In rigid PVC it can provide greater color stability than traditional molybdenum compounds.
  • Charmax™ LS Z8AF is used such flammability, smoke and heat release tests such as ASTM E84, E662, UL 910 and NFPA 263.
