Applications
  • Zinc Hydroxystannate (ZHS) can replace Molybdenum Trioxide in PVC FRLS cable compound
  • ZHS was developed initially for use on halogen containing polymer formulation, especially flexible PVC for wires and cables
  • Zinc Hydroxystannate (ZHS) can provide Oxygen Index as well as Smoke Suppressant properties
  • By adding Antimony Trioxide you get oxygen index but smoke increases, while by adding ZHS you get oxygen index as well as smoke suppressant properties
