HomePolymersPVC


Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

PVC is an extremely versatile polymer that reacts well with a wide variety of additives to create many additional properties. These additives include flame retardants, smoke suppressants, and plasticizers.

Great Lakes offers the broadest range of flame retardants for PVC, including phosphate esters, brominated esters, antimony oxide and zinc borate.   Our Fyrebloc® pre-formulated antimony oxide-based flame retardant packages are available in easy to handle, hygienic forms. And, our Smokebloc® and Ongard® smoke suppressants are effective at reducing the smoke evolved when PVC compositions are forced to burn.

Contact our Technical Service group for expert advice on our flame retardant products for PVC.
