SICA Leader in Flame retardant

Dispersions: Sicadisp, Sicapaste & Sicastab Our concern to meet the strictest safety and hygiene standards, has placed us in the market as the leading producer of dispersions, pastes, pellets, and free flowing forms. These are now recognized as industry standards.

Most of these products contain liquid additives, compatible with their targeted applications.

Masterbatches: SICAbatch & SICAmaster They consist of extruded thermoplastic granules with a very high antimony trioxide content (up to 90%), based on a full range of polymeric binders.

Multicomponent masterbatches can provide complete flame retardant systems. The main advantages of masterbatches are a total absence of dust during handling and a highly efficient predispersion of antimony trioxide, which leads to a very positive technical and economical result.

Packaging We are able to satisfy any of our customers’ requests and also have in our production facilities a packaging machine allowing us to provide low melt pre-dosed sachets.

Creative solutions

e s e a r c h a n d d e v e lo p m e n t are part of our major preoccupations.

The large range of formulations that we are able to propose clearly illustrates our commitment in this respect.

Our will to be permanently listening to our customers in order to satisfy their requirements led us naturally to invest regularly in R&D and analysis equipment. Our laboratory is equipped to provide fast and precise readings throughout the production process, to guarantee the physical and chemical specifications of our products.
