Use Levels

1.5 - 8 % (In textile, paper, and plastics applications), 5 - 20 % (halogen use level)

Usage Level

The usage level of the various grades depends on the material being treated, the test procedure, the ratio of halogen to antimony oxide, and other ingredients being used.; It is not possible to predict flame retardance performance; therefore, experimental evaluation is required.; Typical ratios of halogen to antimony are 5:1 to 2:1.
