The Complex Science Behind Fire Retardants
One of the markets that Broadview has been in since our company began is in the making of fire retardants. Fire retardant chemicals are designed to slow down and reduce the intensity of the fire, and in some cases even stop it. Though there are other methods, we’re taking a […]
Potting Compounds for Demanding Applications
Potting compounds are crucial for electronic assemblies, protecting each of the individual components from vibration, shock, extreme temperatures, moisture, dust, and other damaging conditions and contaminants. The more demanding the environment, the more important it is that potting compounds can withstand these harsh conditions. One of Broadview’s specialties is in developing […]
Resoflex: Flexible and Flame Retardant Plasticizers
Broadview Technologies has been in the material sciences for decades, and over the years we’ve developed many different useful products for flame retardancy, epoxy curing, and plasticizing needs. One of the unique, high performance products that we offer is our Resoflex plasticizers. The Importance of Plasticizers in Plastic ManufacturingPlasticizers are crucial […]
Polyanhydrides: Bio-based Alternatives for the Future
One of the most unique aspects about polyanhydrides compared to other types of specialty anhydrides is that they’re biodegradable. These types of polymers consist of anhydride bonds that break down in water, resulting in smaller chains that are much more easily degraded–and, especially important for pharmaceuticals, are also biocompatible. However, […]
Unlocking the Potential of Polyanhydrides for Food Packaging and Related Applications
