Even in small amounts, Kiilto Fireproof flame retardants can achieve major improvements in flame retardant properties.
Products made from paper and cardboard are being used in more and more innovative ways in a range of industries. For example, corrugated board, which is made of several layers of paper, is tough enough to meet the needs of heavy industry, but sufficiently light and cost-efficient to beat many competing shipping materials.
Untreated paper and cardboard are easily flammable materials. Flammability limits a product’s use as construction material, for example. Flame retardant treatment improves an end product’s fire-resistance rating, which can open entirely new applications and even entire markets. Flame retardants can be used to achieve considerable improvements in the fire resistance and safety of paper and packaging products. Suitable for all paper and packaging industry products.
No effect on material properties
Our flame retardant can be applied in liquid form, depending on the production process we may alter the dry content or for example enhance or limit absorption. It is applied either during or after the production process, once the product is ready.
Kiilto’s flame retardants for the packaging industry are single-component, water-based products in liquid form. The product’s viscosity is normally around 18–20 mPas (DIN3), but this can be adjusted.
The flame retardant can be applied like normal printing ink and does not affect the cardboard’s other properties. Printing ink can also be applied on top of the flame retardant.
Time and material expenses saved
Kiilto’s objective is to create the necessary flame retardant effect as efficiently as possible, saving the customer time and material costs. We can tailor our flame retardant according to each customer’s specific needs. Our expert flame retardant team will ensure that the product works well in the customer’s production process.
