Flamtard S is a zinc stannate flame retardant synergist that is safe for human health and the environment, and is increasingly being used in green, “antimony-free” applications, particularly in the electronics industry. It is extremely effective in PVC systems for cable sheathing, epoxy resins for printed circuit boards, polyamides and surface coatings. Flamtard S (zinc stannate) is insoluble in water and thermally stable (no weight loss) at very high temperatures (>400 °C).
At higher temperatures (400 °C - 600 °C), zinc and tin ions can be volatilised or liberated from their structure to exert catalytic activity. Flamtard S (zinc stannate) is part of a family of n-type wide bandgap semiconductors with a high concentration of free electrons in the conduction band, thus leading to high optical transmissions in combination with electrical conductivity.
