01Application ScopeWhere we fit
Application pages should help buyers move from resin type to sample direction.
Flame retardant selection depends on polymer compatibility, processing temperature, flame rating target, smoke requirement, compliance pressure and cost. This overview connects buyer applications to the detailed pages already built on the site.

Sales: faster routing to the right sample
Masterbatch for Easier Dosing
Pre-dispersed pellet concentrate for buyers that want cleaner handling, lower dust and more consistent let-down.
- Flame retardant masterbatch
- Carrier must match base polymer
Halogen-Free or Halogenated
System choice depends on smoke requirement, compliance needs, cost, dosage and target flame rating.
- Compare halogen-free vs halogenated
- Useful before sample trial
02Resin MapChoose your polymer
Start with the base resin, then match the flame retardant route.
The same flame retardant system will not fit every polymer. This table is designed as a routing layer to connect search intent, buyer application and internal product pages.
| Base Resin / Application | Common Project Direction | Next Page |
|---|---|---|
| PP / Polypropylene | Halogen-free or halogenated additive systems, PP carrier masterbatch, injection molding and sheet applications. | PP flame retardant additives |
| PE / Polyethylene | PE carrier masterbatch, film, extrusion, compounding and applications where dosing and dispersion matter. | PE flame retardant masterbatch |
| PVC | PVC compounds, cable materials, extrusion projects and systems where smoke, flexibility and cost must be balanced. | PVC flame retardant additives |
| ABS | Housings, electrical parts, injection molded components and projects balancing UL94 target and mechanical properties. | ABS flame retardant additives |
| PC / PC-ABS | Engineering plastic parts where transparency, impact, heat stability or appearance may affect system choice. | PC flame retardant additives |
| LSZH Cable Compounds | Low-smoke, halogen-free cable compound systems for wire, cable and compounder applications. | LSZH flame retardant additives |
03Industry SectorsBuyer use cases
Applications are best described by how the material is processed and used.
Instead of listing industries loosely, this section explains what the buyer usually needs to solve: flame rating, low smoke, cleaner dosing, compatibility or scale-up consistency.
Step 01
Electrical and Electronics
ABS, PC, PC/ABS and PP components where UL94 rating, appearance, processing and compliance may matter.
Step 02
Wire and Cable
PVC and LSZH cable compounds where low smoke, halogen-free direction and extrusion processing are key.
Step 03
Building and Construction
Plastic profiles, sheets, panels and compounds where flame performance and material cost must be balanced.
Step 04
Custom Compounding
Compounders that need additive or masterbatch directions matched to resin, filler, color and end-use targets.
04Selection PathHow to choose
The right application page depends on resin, product form and system preference.
If the buyer is unsure whether to choose additives, masterbatch, halogen-free or halogenated systems, this path helps collect the right RFQ information first.
Define the Base Resin
PP, PE, PVC, ABS, PC and cable compounds each require different compatibility and processing review.
Choose Product Form
Powder additives give formulation flexibility; masterbatch improves dosing, handling and dispersion convenience.
Set the Flame Target
UL94, LOI, low smoke, glow wire or customer internal standards affect dosage and chemistry direction.
Check Compliance Pressure
RoHS, REACH, halogen-free, low-smoke and export-market needs should be stated before sample selection.

Use this page as the hub for detailed application content.
Each card links to a more specific page, helping buyers and search engines follow a clean application cluster instead of landing on isolated pages.
Polypropylene Applications
For PP injection molding, extrusion, sheet and compounded materials needing additive or masterbatch directions.
PVC and Cable Materials
For PVC compounds, profiles, cable insulation and applications where processing and smoke behavior matter.
Engineering Plastics
For housings and engineering parts where flame rating, appearance and mechanical properties are important.
Low-Smoke Cable Compounds
For LSZH compounds where halogen-free direction, smoke behavior and flame spread targets are central.
06Application FAQBuyer routing
Questions buyers ask before choosing a flame retardant application route.
These answers help buyers decide which page to open and what information to send for recommendation.
Which plastic applications can Rectivas support?
Rectivas supports flame retardant additive and masterbatch projects for PP, PE, PVC, ABS, PC, PC/ABS, PA, LSZH cable compounds and custom polymer formulations.
Can Rectivas recommend different systems by resin?
Yes. Resin type, processing method, flame rating target, compliance needs and cost target affect whether a halogen-free, halogenated, additive or masterbatch route is recommended.
Which applications are suitable for flame retardant masterbatch?
Flame retardant masterbatch is useful when buyers need cleaner handling, easier dosing, lower dust, carrier-matched dispersion and stable processing in extrusion or injection molding.
What should buyers send for application recommendation?
Buyers should send base resin, processing method, target flame rating, sample standard, color, system preference, compliance needs and estimated demand.
Request application support for your resin and process
Send your polymer, processing method, target flame rating, product form preference and compliance needs. Rectivas can recommend whether to start with additive, masterbatch, halogen-free or halogenated directions.
