About Zinc Borate
Our team of highly qualified & experienced workforce helps us in offering our clients Zinc Borate. It is a white powder of variable composition. We process this powder at our sound processing unit using best quality compounds. This powder is slightly soluble in water. This powder can be used as a fungus and mildew inhibitor, to fire proof textiles, and for other uses. Primary use of this powder is as flame retardant in plastics & cellulose fibers, paper, rubbers and textiles. It is also utilized in the production of paints, adhesives, and pigments. We offer Zinc Borate at market leading prices to clients.
Superior Flame Retardant SolutionZinc Borate offers exceptional flame retardancy in a wide range of polymer and ceramic applications due to its non-toxic nature and robust thermal stability. With a melting point above 980C, it reliably inhibits fire propagation without compromising the integrity of PVC, PE, PP, cable insulation, and various coatings.
Versatile Additive for Industrial UseBoasting a particle size D50 5 m and purity of at least 98%, Zinc Borate seamlessly blends into formulations for plastics, rubbers, paints, adhesives, and ceramics. Its crystalline structure and consistent quality make it a superior choice for manufacturers and suppliers seeking dependable flame retardant performance.
FAQs of Zinc Borate:
Q: How is Zinc Borate typically used in industrial applications?
A: Zinc Borate is mainly employed as a flame retardant additive for plastics such as PVC, PE, PP, as well as in cable insulation, paints, coatings, adhesives, and ceramics. It is added during the manufacturing process to enhance fire resistance and thermal stability without altering the final products appearance or mechanical properties.
Q: What benefits does Zinc Borate offer compared to other flame retardants?
A: Zinc Borate provides non-toxic and environmentally friendly flame retardancy, high thermal stability, low water solubility, and excellent compatibility with various polymer matrices. It is suitable for products requiring low toxicity, stability under heat, and minimal environmental impact.
Q: When should Zinc Borate be added during the manufacturing process?
A: Zinc Borate is best incorporated during batch mixing or compounding stages of plastic, rubber, or ceramic manufacturing to ensure uniform dispersion and optimal flame retardant performance across the finished material.
Q: Where should Zinc Borate be stored to maintain its effectiveness?
A: It should be stored in tightly closed containers, kept dry, and in a well-ventilated area. Avoid exposure to moisture and direct sunlight to preserve its shelf life, which is up to 2 years from the date of manufacture.
Q: What is the process for handling and packaging Zinc Borate for transportation?
A: Zinc Borate is packed in 25kg woven bags with PE lining as standard or as per customer requirements. It is not classified as a hazardous material, making transport straightforward and cost-efficient, with no special regulations needed.
Q: Can Zinc Borate be used in coatings and adhesives?
A: Yes, Zinc Borate is widely used as an additive in paints, coatings, and adhesives to impart flame retardancy and enhance thermal and chemical stability of the formulations.
