Short video explains why plastic additives, including flame retardants, are essential in modern society. Different categories of plastics additives are explained: stabilisers, which provide durability to plastics by protecting from weathering, heat and UV; processing aids which make production of technical plastics articles possible, and reduce energy consumption and production wastes; and property enhancers, which provide strength, flexibility, colours, antimicrobial resistance and fire safety.
