CLOISITE® -20 A

CLOISITE® -20 A by BYK is a flame retardant synergist in halogen-free flame retardant thermoplastics. It improves the process & physical and barrier properties in thermoplastic compounds. It also improves dripping behavior and char formation. It reduces the overall weight. The barrier properties towards oxygen, water vapor and hydrocarbons can be increased by using this additive. In thermoplastics such as polyamides (PA) and bioplastics such as polylactides (PLA), the melt viscosity is increased, enabling an improvement in the dimensional stability during profile extrusion. It is especially recommended for aluminum hydroxide-filled ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), low-density polyethylene (LDPE/LLDPE), magnesium hydroxide-filled polypropylene (PP), polypropylene (PP) films and polylactide (PLA) films. The recommended level is 3-5% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation. CLOISITE® -20 A is suitable for food contact plastics. It is listed in EINECS, TSCA, DSL, AICS, PICCS, IECSC, ENCS, NZIoC and ECSI. It is in line with Directive 2011/65/EU (EU RoHS 2), as amended by the Delegated Directive (EU) 2015/863 (EU RoHS 3), EU Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE), EU Directive 94/62/EC (Packaging Waste) and CONEG Toxics in Packaging. It is suitable for Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 and complies with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. It has a shelf life of 60 months.
