Sodium Bicarbonate and Potassium Bicarbonate are both used in the production of fire extinguishing media, including fire extinguishers. They can also be used to produce organohalogen compounds.
Halogenated flame retardants may be used in conjunction with a synergist such as Antimony Trioxide to enhance their efficiency. Other forms of Antimony, for example Antimony Pentoxide and Sodium Antimonite, find uses as well as Decabromodiphenyl Oxide.
We supply some mineral flame retardants and in particular compounds of Boron. We supply Boric Acid, Disodium Octaborate, Borax, Sodium Metaborate and Zinc Borate.
Magnesium salts including Magnesium Hydroxide are also used in flame retardant production processes.
