Join our webinar on safer and more sustainable fire-retardant solutions for plastics!
As environmental regulations tighten and industries shift toward greener practices, the demand for non-halogenated flame retardants is growing. Traditional halogenated compounds like brominated and chlorinated systems are being phased out due to their persistence and health risks.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how organoclays are emerging as effective and sustainable synergists in fire-retardant polymer systems, especially in wire and cable applications. Discover how CHARGUARD™ 1000 and CHARGUARD™ 2000 from Elementis enhance fire protection through improved char formation, thermal stability, and reduced dripping.
These organoclays offer a safer alternative to fluorinated PTFE-based synergists, delivering excellent mechanical properties, smoke suppression, and regulatory compliance.
Why attend?
- Stay ahead of regulations: Learn how to meet evolving standards by replacing PTFE with safer, compliant alternatives.
• Boost sustainability: Discover how organoclays contribute to greener formulations without compromising performance.
• Improve performance: See how CHARGUARD™ products enhance flame retardancy and thermal resistance in polymer composites.
Whether you're developing new formulations or updating existing ones, this session will provide practical insights into integrating sustainable fire-retardant technologies into your processes.
We look forward to your participation!
