Barium metaborate is used as an additive to impart fire-retardant and mil dew-resistant properties to latex paints, plastics, textiles, and paper products (6). Barium metaborate is marketed by Buckman Labs, Inc., Memphis, Tennessee (12). [Pg.209]

Chlorinated paraffins are versatile materials and are used in widely differing appHcations. As cost-effective plasticizers, they are employed in plastics particularly PVC, mbbers, surface coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Where required they impart the additional features of fire retardance, and chemical and water resistance. In conjunction with antimony trioxide, they constitute one of the most cost-effective fire-retardant systems for polymeric materials, textiles, surface coatings, and paper products. Chlorinated paraffins are also employed as components in fat Hquors used in the leather industry, as extreme pressure additives in metal-working lubricants, and as solvents in carbonless copying paper.
