Smoke Suppressant

High potency smoke suppressant for fire resistant plastic and rubber

It has been recognized that when the polymer is exposed to fire conditions, smoke evolves. The degree of smoke generation is dependent upon the chemical structure of the polymer. However, smoke is a major hazard and AUROGUARD has been indigeneously developed to prevent generation of smoke when polymers are exposed to fire.
AUROGUARD has the potentiality to suppress the smoke both in the case of halogen containing and non-halogen polymers. In the case of halogen bearing polymers, AUROGUARD is effective in the wide range of application starting from plasticised and rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSP) rubber. AUROGUARD also acts efficiently in making Fire Resistant Low Smoke (FRLS) compound from a non-halogenated polymer when used in combination with Antimony Trioxide (Sb₂ O₃) and trace of halogenated additives. AUROGUARD also reduces the hazard from generation of smoke, toxic and corrosive fumes and does not impair any physical properties.
