Flame retardants are chemicals added to plastics, textiles, and construction materials to slow or prevent fire spread. They work by inhibiting combustion (e.g., releasing flame-smothering gases) or forming protective char layers. Used in electronics, furniture, and wiring, they enhance safety but face scrutiny over toxicity (e.g., PBDEs), driving demand for eco-friendly alternatives like phosphorus-nitrogen systems.

Zinc Stearate

 Zinc Stearate is a fine, white powder composed of zinc salts of stearic acid. It is a hydrophobic, non-toxic metal soap widely used as a lubricant, release agent, and stabilizer in plastics, rubber, paints, coatings, and personal care industries. Known for its excellent mold-release properties and compatibility with a range of polymers, Zinc Stearate offers thermal stability and processing efficiency across industrial applications.
