Flame Retardant Specialty Compounding

Many of the plastic items we use everyday benefit from having flame retardant (FR) characteristics. They are valuable tools for fire prevention. For a fire to occur, it needs to have three essential elements, which are heat, fuel, and oxygen. FR materials use chemical reactions to moderate these attributes so that fires do not grow or spread. Flame retardant plastics mitigate fire danger by:

• Reducing the speed of flame spread
• Reducing fume and smoke generation
• Increasing plastic ignition resistance
• Reducing the release of heat

Our FR specialty compounding meets regulations while also being able to achieve specific performance criteria for particular application needs. Our team will be able to:

• Meet exact flammability specifications
• Make resin systems that meet necessary physical properties at a fair price
• Offer high performance in end-use environments for specific chemical and temperature exposure
