SONGWON launches new stabilizer for XPS application

SONGWON introduces its new SONGXTEND 1301 stabilizer for XPS containing new polymeric flame retardants at the upcoming AMI Masterbatch conference in Cologne, Germany on June 9 -11, 2015.

SONGXTEND 1301 stabilizer is specially designed to protect new polymeric flame retardants (pFR) in extruded polystyrene (XPS) applications. As the second generation stabilizer for this market, it maintains better molecular weight and color of XPS containing pFR. In addition, the SONGXTEND 1301 stabilizer offers a broader processing window compared to the current state-of-the-art stabilizers on the market.

According to Thomas Schmutz, Director Global Technical Service at Songwon, SONGXTEND 1301 demonstrates Songwon’s drive to support masterbatch suppliers and XPS producers meet the challenges of the upcoming change from HBCD to pFR.
