CLOISITE 20 A is an organophilic phyllosilicate additive that improves the flame retardancy and physical properties of thermoplastic formulations. As an additive in polymer composites, CLOISITE 20 A enhances durability and performance. It can reduce the filler loading needed for flame retardancy while maintaining fire resistance and improving other qualities like dripping behavior and char formation. CLOISITE 20 A also acts as a barrier against oxygen, water vapor and hydrocarbons when used in thermoplastics. This improves the long-term stability of end products exposed to environmental elements. CLOISITE 20 A is particularly suitable where high strength, longevity and protection from outside factors are important considerations.
