TCC's zinc borate is a low toxicity, white crystalline, inorganic compound primarily used as a flame retardant and smoke suppressant in plastics and cellulose fibers, paper, rubbers and textiles. It is also used in paints, adhesives and pigments.

As a flame retardant, zinc borate can replace antimony trioxide as a synergist in both halogen-based and halogen-free systems.

TCC's zinc borate is also used as a flame retardant in vinyl chloride latex formulations and as an adhesive in bonding fiberglass insulation to aluminum foil.

The product is non-toxic, low-water-soluble, has high heat stability, and small particle size with good dispersion characteristics. It is a highly effective flame retardant that is widely used in plastics, rubber, paint and other products.
