Antimony Trioxide as Flame Retardant Synergist
topic
Antimony trioxide quantification in halogenated flame retardant systems within PVC-coated and brominated polyester textiles uses ICP-OES after microwave acid digestion, monitoring this carcinogenicity concern compound used as a halogen flame retardant synergist in concentrations that may approach OEKO-TEX and REACH substance of very high concern notification thresholds.
Role
Monitors antimony trioxide content in halogenated flame retardant textile systems where this compound is an essential synergist, supporting the transition to halogen-free flame retardant formulations that eliminate the need for antimony trioxide and reduce both toxicological and regulatory compliance burden in technical textile applications.
