Polyolefin Masterbatches

< Back

Versatile solutions for modern plastics.
Polyolefins are used across countless applications, from automotive to consumer goods. Ensuring that these materials meet flame performance requirements without limiting other application properties is a challenge faced by compounders and manufacturers worldwide.

The challenge:
Polyolefin-based materials often require specialized flame retardants that can achieve stringent test results while still maintaining good dispersion, processability, and cost efficiency.

Our solutions:
MAT develops masterbatch-ready additive technologies engineered for a wide range of polyolefin applications:

Formulations capable of meeting UL 94 V-0,- V-2 or VW1 standards as well as other demanding flammability tests
Additives designed for excellent dispersion and compatibility with standard compounding processes
Flexible options tailored to specific cost and performance requirements.
Adaptable solutions to address additional customer-specific performance needs

Why MAT:
With our technical expertise and application knowledge, we deliver more than raw additives — we deliver engineered solutions. Whether your need is for a high-performance masterbatch or a cost-sensitive formulation, MAT provides the right balance of compliance, processability, and end-use performance.

Polyolefin Masterbatch Solutions

FDPE94

FDPE94 is an ultra-low-cost blend that can replace over 50% of the Antimony Trioxide synergist, while maintaining flammability performance. FDPE94 has been observed to reduce the flow and dripping of polymeric material during UL94 testing when compared to an equivalent version which incorporates only Antimony Trioxide as the synergist.

FDVW1

FDVW1 is an industry-established solution for the cross-linked low voltage XLPE and EPDM wire and cable market. FDVW1 is a reliable, cost effective option that has been shown to replace up to 70% of Antimony Trioxide. The amount of Antimony Trioxide that FDVW1 can replace is formula dependent.

FDPP94

FDPP94 provides formulators of UL94 rated polypropylene compounds with the ability to reduce the cost of their flame retardant package. Designed specifically for formulations flame retarded with halogenated additives, FDPP94 can replace around 50% of the Antimony Trioxide synergist, while maintaining flammability performance and reducing the flow and dripping of the material during UL94 testing.
