Product Benefits

FAM 501 can be used as a fire retardant in PVC, Polyolefins, Elastomers, Polyamides, In halogen-containing systems, FAM 501 is used in conjunction with antimony oxide, while in halogen-free systems, it is normally used in conjunction with aluminium trihydrate,. In some particular application specifically PVC Cable Compound Zinc Borate can be used along with FAM 501 to enhance the Smoke Index. FAM 501 has Subestantial price advantage compared to Conventional Molybdenum Trioxide.
