SAYTEX ALERO® Fine™
For premium finishes with reliable performance in textiles and adhesives. Featuring an ultra-fine particle size, it is engineered for uniform application in thin coatings to help prevent equipment clogging and reduce downtime while maintaining fabric flexibility, soft hand feel and processing efficiency.
SAYTEX ALERO® Optima™
Tailored to deliver optimal performance with maximum formulation value in thermoplastics including PP, PE, PA, EVA, polyolefin elastomers, PC/ABS, HIPS and PVC.
This melt-blendable solution offers high thermal stability during injection molding and extrusion, helping to improve resin flow and cycle times while allowing manufacturers to cut ATO costs without compromising mechanical performance or degrading physical resin properties.
Why Are Polymeric BFRs Important?
Polymeric brominated flame retardants (BFRs) represent an important advancement in fire safety materials. Their high molecular weight helps keep them embedded within the polymer matrix, supporting long-term performance and durability in demanding applications.
Polymeric BFRs are often valued for their thermal stability and reduced potential for migration over time, helping manufacturers balance fire safety, performance and evolving industry requirements.
