SYNTHETIC CLAY AS A FLAME RETARDANT FOR LOW SMOKE HALOGEN-FREE PLASTIC COMPOUNDS

摘要

Perkalite is an organically-modified synthetic clay based on magnesium-aluminium layered double hydroxides (LDH), also referred to as hydrotalcite. Upon compounding in polymers, Perkalite can be delaminated to nanoscale level, resulting in improved polymer properties such as thermo-mechanical, flame retardant, barrier and rheological properties.
