As people's requirements for safety and environmental protection continue to increase, Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide (CAP) as a highly effective flame retardant additive is rapidly expanding in the fields of coatings, textiles, resin materials, etc. UrbanMines Tech. Limited provides customized product solutions for different industries through in-depth research on the stability and particle size distribution of Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide, further promoting the widespread application of this technology.
Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide Overview
Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide is a water-based anionic dispersion containing water-soluble particles of antimony pentoxide (Sb₂O₅). It is a milky white liquid and usually contains 27%, 30%, and 47.5% antimony pentoxide. The colloid is prepared by a reflux oxidation system using a simple process. It is not only stable but also not easy to precipitate under normal conditions, ensuring its uniformity and reliability during use. The product also contains triethanolamine (CAS# 100-17-56-8, C₆H₁₅NO₃) to help enhance its dispersibility and processing performance.
Core Advantages
1.Enhance substrate permeability
Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide can penetrate well into the surface of substrates, especially in the production of coatings, films and laminates, and can significantly improve the flame retardant properties of the materials without affecting the mechanical properties or appearance of the materials themselves. Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide also performs well in applications that require a translucent effect.
2.Low pigmentation effect
Due to its strong liquid dispersibility, the addition of Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide will not significantly affect the substrate's color depth. Therefore, when used in coatings and textiles, it can maintain the original color tone or whitening effect, avoiding the darkening or yellowing problems common with traditional flame retardants.
3.Easy handling and processing
The colloid exhibits excellent fluidity during processing, will not clog the spray gun, and does not require additional special dispersing equipment, which reduces production costs and improves production efficiency. Its liquid state makes its application in coatings and other water-based systems more convenient and flexible.
4.Highly effective flame retardant performance
Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide has a high flame retardant efficiency and can significantly improve the flame retardant effect without significantly increasing the weight of the material or changing the physical properties. This feature makes it an ideal choice for many high-demand flame retardant fields, such as copper-clad laminates of electronic equipment, polyester resins, epoxy resins, and phenolic resins.
Main application areas
1.Coatings and Films
In coatings and films, Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide not only provides excellent flame retardant properties but also meets the needs of high-end coatings and decorative coatings due to its good dispersibility and transparency. Whether in automotive coatings or architectural coatings, it can improve their fire resistance and safety.
2.Flame retardant treatment of textiles
Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide can be used as a highly effective flame retardant for textiles such as carpets, curtains, sofa covers, tarpaulins, and high-grade wool fabrics. By combining with textile materials efficiently, it can significantly reduce the risk of fire and ensure the safety of living and working environments.
3.Flame retardant enhancer for resin materials
In the flame retardant treatment of copper-clad laminates, polyester resins, epoxy resins, and phenolic resins, the addition of Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide can significantly improve the fire resistance of these materials. It is widely used in electronic products, building materials, and other fields to ensure their safety and stability in high-temperature environments.
4.Oil refining industry and wastewater treatment
Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide is used as a metal passivator in the petroleum refining industry, which can effectively improve the stability and efficiency of oil and residual oil in the catalytic cracking and catalytic forming process. In addition, its application in sewage treatment also demonstrates its important role in environmental protection.
Environmental protection and safety
As global environmental regulations become increasingly stringent, Colloidal Antimony Pentoxide's water-based formula ensures that it is environmentally friendly during use. Compared with traditional organic solvent flame retardants, it does not release harmful gases and is a safer and green choice.
