Elementis has launched the CHARGUARD™ fire-retardant synergist portfolio in China and the Asia Pacific region, offering manufacturers a sustainable alternative to traditional synergists like antimony trioxide and PFAS-based products. The portfolio includes CHARGUARD™ 1000, CHARGUARD™ 2000, and the newly developed CHARGUARD™ 2010, which is locally sourced for the region. These smectite-based organoclays promote char formation, inhibit smoke generation, and improve fire resistance in thermoplastics while meeting stringent environmental regulations. Designed for various applications, including consumer electronics, whiteware, and neutral-colored plastics, the CHARGUARD™ portfolio provides high-performance fire protection without compromising sustainability.
