As we all know, LDPE has a low viscosity during processing and is especially suitable for blown film production, so the general film is made of LDPE. However, low-density polyethylene is flammable, the oxygen index is only 17.2, and the antistatic ability is poor. If it is used in military or related fields, it is particularly easy to catch fire due to static electricity, which in turn leads to fire or even explosion. This requires PE film to be both flame retardant and antistatic.
In the early days, this was achieved mainly by bromo-antimony systems, such as decabromodiphenyl ether plus antimony trioxide. Mainly through the synergistic effect of bromine antimony system to achieve flame retardant. However, the addition of antimony oxide will greatly affect the transparency of the film, and the product is basically opaque. In order to meet the requirements of film transparency, it is necessary to find a raw material to replace antimony oxide. On the one hand, it has a good synergistic flame retardant effect with bromine, and on the other hand, it does not affect the transparency of the product. Now on the market there is this PE transparent flame retardant masterbatch, used in transparent film products is very suitable.
