Char Catalyst 5066
Non-Halogen Flame Retardant Synergist
Overview
Char Catalyst 5066 is surface treated nanoclay useful for dispersing free
intumescent flame retardant useful as an additive for polyolefins, epoxy, and
thermoset coatings.
The addition of Char Catalyst 5066 can allow the reduction in flame retardant
usage by levels up to 25% without loss in flame retardant properties.
Suggested starting point use levels are 1-3% by weight of the flame retardant
usage.
Char Catalyst 5066 contains approximately 30-40% of a dialkyl ammonium
(cationic) surfactant on the surface of montmorillonite clay. The product does
contain up to 2% respirable crystalline silica. Nuisance respirable dust levels
should be controlled below 5 mg/m
