ACTILOX B/SM
ACTILOX B/SM
ACTILOX® B/SM are mineral flame retardants. The high purity of ACTILOX B/SM allows it to be used in electrically insulated components and electronics. Since they exhibit a very high temperature resistance, up to 340°C, they can also be used in temperature demanding applications. Above this temperature a slow degradation occurs under water release. Used as a halogen free mineral co-flame retardant, the boehmites can partially substitute organic phosphorous flame retardants and contribute to significant cost savings in the compounds. This can be utilized in thermoplastic and thermoset compounds.
For Lithium-Ion Batteries
Boehmite in separator film coating convinces by conveying high level of component reliability. This filler reduces the risk of short-circuiting in Lithium-ion batteries (LIBS) to a minimum and this in turn increases safety for the consumer.
For Electronics
In epoxy based printed circuit boards our highly pure Boehmite is used. It can replace the thermally unstable aluminium hydroxide, therefore multiple reflow-soldering is possible without problems. In addition, it leads to a significant cost reduction for PCBs by also reducing the amount of necessary phosphorous flame retardants as well. Similar advantages are obtainable in Epoxy Moulding compounds, Epoxy Cast resins and substrates for semiconductors.
For Engineering Plastics
In combination with phosphorous and nitrogen containing flame retardants. Boehmites have proven their high efficiency. They promote processing in extrusion or injection mold processes which improves the output rate or reduces cycle times of a production. Furthermore, the usage of Boehmite as inert flame retardants may actively reduce interfering acidic by-products of the flame retardants, stabilizing the polymer matrix positively.
