Flame Retardant Masterbatch

Flame retardant masterbatch, commonly referred to as flame retardant additive masterbatch, is a highly concentrated functional plastic masterbatch. When incorporated into plastic product manufacturing at specified ratios, it yields finished plastic goods capable of effectively suppressing or delaying combustion, preventing flame propagation, and reducing the release of toxic and harmful gases during burning.

FAQS

Q1: What is the difference between flame-retardant masterbatch and direct-addition flame-retardant powder?

A: Flame-retardant masterbatch offers superior dispersion, is dust-free, easy to process, and provides stable overall performance. In contrast, flame-retardant powder tends to agglomerate, generates dust pollution, and is difficult to measure accurately.

Q3: What is the recommended addition ratio of flame retardant masterbatch?

A: The addition ratio depends on the flame retardant grade and base plastic. Our technical team can provide a customized addition plan based on your product requirements.

Q5: Can you provide samples of flame retardant masterbatch for testing? 

A5: Yes. We provide free 500g-1kg samples for customers to test flame retardancy, dispersion, and processing performance. Please contact our sales team to confirm the sample specifications (carrier, flame retardant grade) and delivery address.

Q2: Will flame-retardant masterbatch affect the colour of the plastic?

A: No, we can provide black, white, and transparent colours. Alternatively, we can design and adjust the formulation based on samples you provide, or produce according to specified Pantone colour cards.

Q4: Do your flame-retardant masterbatches comply with international environmental regulations?

A: Yes, our products fully comply with stringent international environmental regulations such as RoHS and REACH.

Q6: Can I customise flame-retardant masterbatch to specific colours or performance characteristics?

A: Certainly. We offer bespoke services to develop customised flame-retardant masterbatch tailored to your requirements, based on samples provided or specifications outlined.

Huashuo is a professional masterbatch factory and supplier with advanced pilot mixing production lines and comprehensive testing laboratories to support formula development and mass production needs. We combine spectrophotometry technology with professional visual assessment to establish a standardized color matching process, providing customers with efficient and stable customized color solutions. Please contact our technical team for exclusive color matching support and sample services.

Provide us with a reference for your desired color—either a physical sample or a selection from our existing color portfolio.
Accepted reference formats include:

  • Masterbatch concentrate
  • Finished product sample
  • Paper swatch
  • Paint sample
  • Pantone® color code
  • Film sample
  • Other material references

Once your sample is received, we perform spectrophotometric analysis to establish an initial formulation for the target color.

Pigment selection is guided by the specific application criteria you provide. To ensure optimal formulation, please share the following details about your finished product:

  • Intended application
  • Base resin type
  • FDA compliance requirements, if applicable
  • Expected service life under sunlight exposure
  • Manufacturing process and typical processing temperatures
  • Part thickness
  • Let-down ratio
  • Acceptable color tolerance range
  • Need for spectrophotometric readings and Delta E tolerance specifications

An initial trial batch is produced and evaluated against the reference sample using both visual inspection and spectrophotometric measurements.

Upon finalizing the color match, we supply the following:

  • Color chip samples
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
  • FDA compliance certificate, if applicable
  • 5–10 lb product sample, upon request
