Products

Graphene oxide is an oxidized derivative of the 'wonder material', graphene, with myriad potential applications as a result of its unique properties as a 2D material. William Blythe is a world-leader in the commercialisation of GO, offering a product with unrivaled purity that is manufactured through a safe and inherently scalable route. One of the key benefits to GO over graphene is its ability to be dispersed readily in water, enabling access to 2D sheets via sustainable processing routes, which is why we offer our product already dispersed at a range of concentrations in water. We can also offer a powder products for anhyrdous applications.

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.

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.
