- Portaflame® SG LV products are “Low Viscosity” optimized grades. The exceptional low Oil Absorption value gives the formulator the opportunity to achieve higher loading levels.
- Portaflame® SG LV products are ground halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR) fillers used in a broad range of applications, e.g. SMC & BMC, pultrusion, Gelcoats, carpet backing, potting resins, sealants, adhesives, cable bedding compounds 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, fillers in the Portaflame® SG LV range possess a strong smokesuppressing ability. They are not classified as a dangerous substance (DSD and CLP) and do not contain Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), including their decomposition products from fire.
