Antimony trioxide has the unique ability to make halogen-based plastic additives more effective in reducing
the flammability of the finished plastics.
ATO is only used as an industrial intermediate in manufacturing locations
designed for the handling of plastics and chemicals.
USES AND APPLICATIONS
Antimony trioxide is predominantly used in plastics where resistance to ignition and flammability are required.

Agents

Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents
are supplied as concentrates
CHEMICAL FOAMING AGENTS (CFAs)
are chemical substances that react under the
influence of heat to release gas into the plastic
matrix during the manufacturing process of
plastic parts.
The gases form a cellular foam
structure in the plastic that reduces the amount
of material needed and hence the part’s
weight.
The portfolio
includes non-hazardous endothermic substances
that require minimum cooling of the plastic parts
after manufacturing.

This
method has mating plastic threads formed
during assembly.
Solvent
Solvents soften surfaces of plastic (plastic
must be soluble)—best for amorphous or
low crystalline plastics, such as ABS, acrylic,
cellulosic, PC, PS, PPO, and vinyls.
EJECTION
A method of ejection is needed for all plastic
parts, this is due to the shrinkage seen in plastic
parts.
