Zinc Hydroxystannate Applications and Synthesis
Brief Introduction
Zinc hydroxystannate is a white powder, primarily applied as a flame retardant additive in polymers.
The consumption of flame retardant additives in the plastics industry has risen markedly. Nevertheless, numerous conventional flame retardants still have drawbacks during application. For instance, antimony trioxide, widely adopted as a flame retardant in polymers, delivers favorable flame retardancy, yet it tends to generate large volumes of smoke.
With growing environmental regulations worldwide, alternative flame retardant additives are required to replace antimony trioxide.
Applications
It is mainly utilized as a flame retardant and smoke suppressant for the plastics industry, serving as an eco-friendly substitute for antimony trioxide.
