When Fireproof masterbatch is used together with other additives, it will show a complex interaction relationship, including synergistic and antagonistic effects.
In terms of synergistic effects, when Fireproof masterbatch is used together with certain antioxidants, it may produce good synergistic effects. For example, antioxidants can delay the oxidation aging process of materials, while Fireproof masterbatch is committed to improving the flame retardant properties of materials. Under certain conditions, the presence of antioxidants can reduce the flammable small molecules produced by oxidation during the heating process of the material, thereby indirectly assisting Fireproof masterbatch to better play a flame retardant role. At the same time, when certain plasticizers are reasonably matched with Fireproof masterbatch, synergistic effects may also occur. Plasticizers can improve the flexibility and processing properties of materials, and the appropriate combination can improve the flame retardant properties of materials while maintaining good processing properties. For example, plasticizers can promote the dispersion of Fireproof masterbatch in materials, making Fireproof masterbatch more evenly distributed in the material, thereby more effectively preventing the spread of flames.
However, there may also be antagonism. For example, some pigment additives may be antagonistic to Fireproof masterbatch. Some pigments may decompose and produce flammable materials when heated, which will interfere with the flame retardant effect of Fireproof masterbatch. In addition, if some additives are not compatible with Fireproof masterbatch in the material, it may cause uneven distribution of the two in the material, affecting the performance of each function. For example, an additive may occupy certain areas of the material, making it impossible for Fireproof masterbatch to fully contact the parts that need to be flame-retarded, thereby reducing the fireproof effect of Fireproof masterbatch. In order to fully utilize the synergistic effect and avoid antagonism, it is necessary to conduct sufficient research and testing when selecting additives to be used with Fireproof masterbatch. The chemical properties, mechanism of action and compatibility of various additives with Fireproof masterbatch should be taken into account. Through reasonable formulation design and optimization, the advantages of Fireproof masterbatch and other additives can be maximized to improve the comprehensive performance of the material, meet the fireproof requirements, and achieve other required functions, such as good processability and beautiful appearance.
