A unique ground calcium carbonate from a specialty, high purity calcium carbonate and processed at Huber’s plant in Quincy, Illinois. Key advantages include controlled fine particle size distribution, unique ore morphology, low moisture, and nonreportable silica content. Optifil offers reduction of plate out and wear on equipment for operational efficiency.

Geotex® FXZ is a high-purity, granular calcium carbonate derived from a high-brightness marble deposit in Georgia, featuring a controlled particle distribution. It serves as a texturizing agent in coatings, plaster, and Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS), functions as an abrasive in various applications, and acts as a filler in PVC flooring. Additionally, its marble crystal structure enhances performance in recirculation drilling fluids.

Safire® 400 nitrogen-phosphorus fire retardant (FR) technology from Huber Advanced Materials is designed to impart enhanced fire retardancy, smoke suppression and char formation compared with commonly available phosphate products. Huber has applied its fire retardant additive expertise in this novel category to create effective FR solutions for the most demanding applications, including thermoplastics, thermosets and coatings. The Safire® 400 technology also offers synergistic opportunities with our existing array of alumina trihydrate (ATH), magnesium hydroxide (MDH) and Kemgard® molybdate products.

 

The Safire® technology system is versatile and can be utilized as an effective flame retardant and smoke suppressant in these popular resin systems:

• Epoxy
• Polyamides (PAs)
• Polyesters (PBT; PET)
• Polyurethanes
• Polyolefins
• Elastomers

 

The Safire® Technology is designed to help you meet the most rigorous demands in these specific applications:

• Electrical and Electronics
• Wire and Cable
• Building and Construction
• Transportation

SB-30 is an unground ATH, commonly known as aluminum hydroxide used to suppress flame and smoke in plastics, rubber and cellulosics.
