- Portaflame® SG LV grades are milled halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR) fillers which are used in a broad range of applications, e.g. SMC & BMC, carpet backing, potting resins, sealants, adhesives and polymer concrete. Their flame-retarding action is based mainly upon the endothermic decomposition of metal hydroxide (heat-sink effect) and simultaneous release of water vapor. This reaction starts at about 200°C. In addition to flame retardancy,
- Portaflame® SG LV possesses a strong smoke-suppressing ability. It is not classified as a dangerous substance (DSD and CLP). Nor Portaflame, nor its decomposition products from fire, contain/form Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).
