Masteret® 80550 is a non-halogenated flame retardant liquid masterbatch based on stabilized and microencapsulated red phosphorus in a water-based thixotropic dispersion. It is available in totes (IBC) and drums, and is compatible with acrylics and latex polymers. This product improves homogeneity and is dispersible, making it ideal for applications where flame retardancy is required. It is offered in a liquid masterbatch form, providing easy handling and integration into formulations.

Application Information

Masteret® 80550 is mainly used to flame proofing water-based acrylic, latex, adhesives in combination with metal hydroxides (MDH, ATH) or melamine derivatives. Dosage ranges from 5% to 15% according to specific standard and formulation.

Processing Instructions

Masteret® 80550 can be directly added or pumped to water dispersions of polymers and additives. The non-ionic suspension agents have been developed for achieving good homogeneity and dispersibility of red phosphorus without interacting with the common dispersant agents for organic polymers used in same range of pH. Always stir the product before the use.
