SmokeShield® ZHS

Chemical Name
Zinc Hydroxystannate

SmokeShield® ZHS is a fine particle size zinc hydroxystannate flame retardant and smoke suppressant. This fine white to off-white powder effectively suppresses smoke in halogenated polymers, notably PVC, functioning as a charformer in the condensed phase. It serves as a potent flame retardant synergist and a replacement for antimony oxide in flexible PVC and halogenated polyesters.
