08-Jun-15

A stabilizer, specially designed to protect new polymeric flame retardants (pFR) in XPS applications, has been launched by Songwon. Songwon will be launching its new SONGXTEND® 1301 stabilizer for XPS containing new polymeric flame retardants. This stabilizer is specially designed to protect new polymeric flame retardants (pFR) in XPS applications. As the 2nd generation stabilizer for this market, it maintains better molecular weight and color of XPS containing pFR. In addition, the SONGXTEND 1301 stabilizer offers a broader processing window compared to the current state-of-the-art stabilizers on the market. “With SONGXTEND 1301, we are very pleased to provide the XPS market with an alternative and upgraded stabilizer,” says Thomas Schmutz, Director Global Technical Service at Songwon. “The product demonstrates Songwon’s drive to support masterbatch suppliers and XPS producers meet the challenges of the upcoming change from HBCD to pFR. We consider SONGXTEND 1301 to be the best stabilizer for XPS containing pFR.”
