Victoryfr Introduces Nano Approach for High-Filled Polymer Compounds

WA, UNITED STATES, September 30, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Victoryfr, a company specializing in halogen-free flame-retardant materials, has unveiled a new technical guidance aimed at improving the formulation of high-filled low-smoke polymer compounds. This guidance focuses on the use of layered nano materials to address the challenges posed by high mineral filler levels in polymers such as ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP).

The press release highlights that while mineral flame retardants like magnesium hydroxide are commonly used in halogen-free and low-smoke polymer compounds, their high usage levels can lead to processing issues. These include uneven dispersion, increased extrusion pressure, and reduced mechanical properties. Victoryfr’s new approach seeks to mitigate these issues by integrating smaller amounts of functional nano materials into the existing flame-retardant systems.

According to the guidance, layered nano materials can contribute to the barrier formation during the burning process and influence the distribution of the main flame-retardant filler within the polymer. However, the effectiveness of these materials depends on their dispersion and compatibility with the resin. Proper surface treatment and resin selection are crucial for achieving the desired benefits.

Victoryfr’s technical guidance emphasizes that a formulation that works in one polymer system, such as EVA, may not be directly transferable to another, like PE or PP. Each polymer system has unique characteristics that affect the formulation, such as filler distribution and mechanical properties. Therefore, the company’s approach involves a comprehensive evaluation of the entire formulation, including the resin type, filler level, surface treatment, and dosage.

The press release outlines a series of tests to evaluate the effectiveness of the new formulation. These include assessing filler distribution, extrusion pressure, surface quality, flame performance, tensile and elongation properties, and stability after heat exposure. The goal is to achieve a formulation that meets fire performance requirements without compromising extrusion or mechanical performance.

Victoryfr supplies magnesium hydroxide and other halogen-free flame-retardant materials for various applications, including wire and cable, plastics, rubber, and coatings. The company’s technical support includes particle-size selection, surface modification, dosage, and compound-formulation adjustment. This approach provides compounders with an alternative solution when standard high-filled mineral formulations encounter dispersion or processing limitations.

In summary, Victoryfr’s new technical guidance offers a layered nano approach to enhance the performance of high-filled low-smoke polymer compounds. By integrating functional nano materials into existing systems, the company aims to address the challenges associated with high mineral filler levels and improve the overall processing and mechanical properties of the compounds.
