Why Flame-Retardant Materials Require Surface Modification?

In applications of polymers such as plastics, rubber, and epoxy resins, flame-retardant performance is a core indicator. It determines product safety and regulatory compliance. From the fire resistance rating of construction materials to the insulation safety of electronics, the performance of flame-retardant materials is critical. It also affects the flame resistance standards of automotive components and the thermal runaway protection in new energy batteries. Overall, flame-retardant performance directly affects whether a product can pass quality inspection and enter the market. However, many practitioners encounter a common pain point. Directly adding inorganic flame retardants not only results in unstable flame-retardant effects. It also significantly reduces the mechanical and processing properties of […]
