Messi Biology’s Magnesium Hydroxide Masterbatch: A Sustainable and High-Performance Solution for the Rubber Industry

Messi Biology is well versed in the pain points of traditional rubber flame retardant materials. Its magnesium hydroxide rubber masterbatch is not a simple material replacement, but a systematic solution, with the core lies in the “modified masterbatch” strategy:

silicone rubber

1. Strengthening the foundation of environmental protection:

Core: With high-purity magnesium hydroxide as the only flame retardant element, completely abandon halogen and heavy metals, meet the most stringent environmental regulations from the source, and pave the way for products to enter the international market.

Value: Help rubber product manufacturers avoid regulatory risks, embrace the mainstream of “green manufacturing”, and enhance brand image and market access capabilities.

2. Breakthroughs in performance bottlenecks:

Core technology: deep surface modification. This is not a simple coupling agent treatment, but a customized interface design for different rubber matrixes (EPDM, NBR, Silicone, etc.). The modified layer is like a “molecular bridge”, which greatly enhances the compatibility and binding force of magnesium hydroxide with rubber.

Masterbatch carrier: High proportion of modified magnesium hydroxide (60-85%) is dispersed uniformly in the matching rubber carrier in advance. This solves the two major problems of dispersion and processability of directly adding powder.

Results:

Mechanical Performance Guardian: When reaching the same or even higher flame retardant level, the negative impact on the tensile strength, elongation, and tear strength of rubber is significantly reduced, and some applications are even slightly improved.

Smooth processing guarantee: Masterbatch form is easy to mix, reduce dust pollution, improve the fluidity of the glue, improve production efficiency and yield.

3. Leap in safety performance:

High-efficiency flame retardant & excellent smoke suppression: Magnesium hydroxide decomposes heat absorption, releases water vapor to dilute oxygen and combustible gases, promotes carbon formation, and maximizes the performance of highly active particles evenly dispersed in the masterbatch. Its low smoke and low toxicity (LSZH) characteristics are particularly prominent, and it buys valuable time for fire escape.

Value: Meets high-level requirements for flame retardant and smoke toxicity such as GB/T (national standard), UL (US standard), EN (European standard, such as railway EN45545), and is especially suitable for scenarios that are crucial to personnel safety (subway, high-speed rail, mine, high-rise building cable).

4. Optimization of comprehensive cost:

Improved efficiency: Good dispersion means higher unit flame retardant efficiency, which may reduce the actual amount of addition required to achieve the target flame retardant level.

Reduce processing costs: shorten mixing time, reduce energy consumption and equipment losses; improve yield and reduce waste loss; improve working environment.

Long-term risk aversion: Avoid the risk costs of regulatory penalties, product recalls or market bans caused by the use of non-environmental flame retardants.

Future value and strategic significance:

A key link in the green supply chain: With the deepening of global ESG (environment, society, governance) concepts and the promotion of the “dual carbon” goal, the use of halogen-free environmentally friendly flame-retardant materials is an inevitable choice for rubber product companies to build a green supply chain. The masterbatch of Hebei Meixi Biotech Co., Ltd. is an indispensable high-performance material.

Boosters for high-end manufacturing: In the fields of new energy vehicles (high voltage wiring harness), 5G communications (high reliability cables), intelligent rail transit, high-end equipment, etc., the requirements for high flame retardant, low smoke poison, long life and high reliability of rubber components are continuously improved. This masterbatch technology provides a material basis for domestic high-end rubber products to break through international barriers.

Potential contributors to the circular economy: Halogen-free and non-toxic rubber products are easier to recycle, reduce environmental pollution, and are in line with the direction of the circular economy (although rubber recycling is still a challenge at present, the environmental protection of the materials themselves is the premise).

The magnesium hydroxide rubber masterbatch of Hebei Meixi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is far more than a new flame retardant additive. It is a systematic solution to the core pain points such as environmental protection compliance, performance improvement, processing optimization, and safety assurance in the halogenation-free transformation of the rubber industry. Its core competitiveness lies in the deep fusion of “high-purity basic materials + deep surface modification technology + masterbatch engineering”. This not only provides rubber product companies with products that meet the current strict market and regulatory requirements, but also helps them gain the lead in the future competition of green and high-end. Choosing it is to choose a safer, more environmentally friendly, more sustainable and competitive rubber manufacturing path.
