【Mufan New Materials | Halogen-Free Flame-Retardant Masterbatch – The Expert in Polymer Protection for Safety and Environmental Compliance】
Abstract
Today, as the application scenarios for plastics continue to diversify, fire safety and environmental protection have become core demands driving material performance.
Mu Fan New Materials (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. has been deeply engaged in the field of flame-retardant masterbatches, focusing on the halogen-free flame retardant systems such as phosphorus-nitrogen (OP), phosphine-based, MCA (melamine cyanurate). It provides customized fireproof/ flame retardant solutions for a wide range of polymer materials, including PP, PE, PA, PC, PS, and TPE elastomers.While safeguarding life safety, it also fulfills its commitment to sustainable development.


Ⅰ.Halogen-Free Flame-Retardant Masterbatch: Cutting Off Fires at the Source, Safeguarding a Green Future
Traditional halogenated flame retardants, which release toxic gases such as dioxins during combustion, are gradually being phased out. Mufan New Materials focuses on halogen-free flame retardant technology, with phosphorus, nitrogen, magnesium and other environmentally friendly elements as the core. It achieves efficient protection through three major flame retardant mechanisms:
-. Solid-phase carbonization: Phosphorus-containing components catalyze the formation of a dense carbon layer on the surface of the polymer, blocking the transfer of oxygen and heat (for example, adding 18% of the OP series to PP can achieve UL94 V-0 grade);
-. Gas-phase flame inhibition: Nitrogen-containing compounds (such as MCA) release inert gases (NH₃, N₂) when heated, diluting the concentration of combustible gases and reducing the combustion rate;
-. Synergistic enhancement: Phosphorus-nitrogen composite systems (such as OP+MCA) enhance the oxygen index (LOI) to over 32% through the dual action of "catalytic carbonization + gas dilution," far exceeding traditional single-component flame retardants.
Advantage Comparison:
Performance Metrics | Halogen-Free Flame-Retardant Masterbatch (Mufan) | Traditional halogen-based flame retardants |
Release of burning toxic gas | Halogen-free, low-smoke, and non-toxic | Contains bromine / Chlorine, releasing dioxins |
Substrate Compatibility | Distributed evenly, with no precipitation or frosting. | Easily layered, affecting the appearance. |
Addition Amount | 15-30% (Highly Flame-Retardant) | 25-40% |
Environmental Certification | RoHS 、 GRS 、 REACH Compliance | Partially restricted |
II. Comprehensive Category Coverage: Customized for Every Material " Fire-resistant clothing ”
Drawing on over a decade of R&D experience and targeting the specific combustion characteristics of different polymers, Mufan New Materials has launched six series of halogen-free flame retardant masterbatches:
- PP Series: The series includes both drawing-grade (for woven bags and strapping) and injection molding-grade (for electrical appliance casings and automotive parts). Adding 4-6% can achieve a V-2 rating while maintaining the material's rigidity and toughness.
- PE Series: Specifically designed for cable compounds (low-smoke halogen-free, in compliance with IEC 60332-1) and film-grade applications (flame-retardant tarpaulins, agricultural greenhouses). It offers excellent dispersion without crystal point exudation.
- PA Series: Tailored for electronic components (PA6/PA66, V-0 flame retardancy). It has strong heat resistance and solves the problem of PA dripping.
-PC/PS Series: Transparent flame-retardant masterbatch (light transmittance >90%). It is used for optical lenses and appliance casings, balancing fire protection and aesthetics.
- TPE Elastomer Series: High-elasticity flame retardant (Shore A 60-90). It is used for automotive interiors and sports equipment, meeting both UL94 V-0 and RoHS standards.




Ⅲ.Mufan New Materials: Defining Industry Benchmarks with Technology
As a professional manufacturer of full-range halogen-free flame retardant masterbatches,our core strengths stem from the following:
Technical Leadership: We have independently developed phosphorus-nitrogen synergistic formulations (such as the OP-MCA composite system), which offer a flame retardancy efficiency 30% higher than the industry average.
- Customized Services: We provide full-process support covering "materials - process - testing." From small-scale trials to mass production optimization, we meet customers' differentiated needs (such as weather resistance and anti-yellowing).
- Quality Assurance: By employing twin-screw extrusion combined with online detection processes, we ensure that each batch of masterbatches has uniform particle size (2-4mm) and a flame retardant dispersion coefficient of less than 5%.
- Green Commitment: All our products have passed the SGS halogen-free certification, helping our customers achieve the EU EPR and China Green Product certifications.
