CLOISITE-20 A

CLOISITE 20 A is an organophilic phyllosilicate additive used in thermoplastics and films. CLOISITE 20 A improves flame retardant properties, dripping behavior and char formation in halogen-free formulations. It can reduce the need for fillers like aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide, improving processability and physical properties while decreasing weight. CLOISITE 20 A also increases barrier properties for oxygen, water vapor and hydrocarbons. In materials like polylactide films, it raises melt viscosity enabling better dimensional stability during shaping. CLOISITE 20 A is particularly suitable for the advanced materials industry as it enhances flame retardancy, mechanical properties and creates barriers within high-performance thermoplastics and bioplastics during processing and product life.
