CHARGUARD™ 1000 by Elementis is an off-white organically modified mineral thickener. It is suitable for thermoplastic melt extrusion compounding applications in combination with non-halogenated fire retardants. It does not contain intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
- It enhances the effectiveness of non-halogenated and halogenated fire retardants by delaying the combustion process and stopping the spread of molten flame drip.
- It creates char layer oxygen barrier which is non-flammable and reduces the availability of combustible gases generated during thermal decomposition.
- It reduces the amount of smoke produced in a fire, which is a significant factor in improving fire safety and survivability.
- It is suitable for halogen-free flame retardant thermoplastic compounds such as ethylene-vinyl acetate co-polymer (EVA), low density polyethylene (LDPE), high impact styrene (HIPS), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (nylon 6) and polylactic acid (PLA).
- Recommended dosage level is 3.5%-5% as supplied based on total formulation weight.
- CHARGUARD™ 1000 has a shelf life of 4 years.
