    Phosphates

    Phosphate esters are non-halogen fire retardant plasticizer. Phosphate esters are highly recommended to inherent fire retardant properties and suppress smoke in a wide range of rubber products where is a need to reduce the risk of fire. Phosphate esters are also highly efficient and highly polar plasticizers that improve the flexibility, durability, and other mechanical properties of a formulation. Alkyl aryl phosphates also allow good performance to be maintained even at low temperatures.
