CATENA Additives focus on two core product lines:

  • Halogen-free flame retardants
  • Heavy metal free PVC stabilisers

Safire® Flame retardants

Safire® Flame retardants are a new class of halogen-free flame retardants which meet the requirements of electronic industry.The products are based on N- and P-containing Organic-Inorganic Polymeric Hybrid Materials. These products work as synergists in combination with different organic as well as inorganic halogen-free retardants like Metal phosphinates, metal phosphonates, Aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, polyols etc.

Safire® flame retardants improve FR performance in several substrates like, PA 6, PA 6.6, PE, EVA, Epoxy, Polyesters and like.

Safire® 400: Melamine-poly(zinc phosphate)
Safire® 200: Melamine-ploy(aluminium phosphate)

The main advantages are:

  • improved performance
  • lower dosage level
  • better char formation

Applications:

  • Engeneering plastics (PA, PBT)
  • Cable (PE, EVA, PU, TPE, PVC)
  • Coatings

In partnership with nature

CATENA Additives is committed to serve the global plastic industry developing innovative technologies for customers.

The stringent environmental regulations and state-of-the art new materials demand for customer specific solutions in polymer processing. Our approach is to offer you solutions in PVC stabilization, improving the quality and raising the performance.

GreenStab® Range of stabilisers are a result of extensive R&D focussed on the development of a stabiliser system with universal applicability to all types of PVC processing.
