Flamtard H is a zinc hydroxystannate that has both a condensed phase and vapour phase action during the rapid degradation of polyvinyl chloride and polymer materials containing halogenated and antimony additives. In halogen-free flame retardant polymer materials it can act to increase the char consistency and strength. Flamtard H (zinc hydroxystannate) is insoluble in water and releases 15w% of water starting at 220 °C. At higher temperatures (400 °C - 600 °C), zinc and tin ions can be volatilised or liberated from their structure to exert catalytic activity. Flamtard H (zinc hydroxystannate) is part of a family of n-type wide bandgap semiconductors with a high concentration of free electrons in the conduction band, thus leading to high optical transmissions in combination with electrical conductivity.
