Non-halogenated flame retardants are a type of flame retardant that does not contain halogenated compounds. These compounds are used in a variety of applications, including plastics, textiles, and electronics. Non-halogenated flame retardants are typically more environmentally friendly than halogenated flame retardants, as they do not produce toxic byproducts when exposed to heat or flame. They are also more cost-effective than halogenated flame retardants, making them a popular choice for many industries.
Non-halogenated flame retardants are available in a variety of forms, including intumescent, reactive, and synergistic. Intumescent flame retardants expand when exposed to heat, forming a protective layer that prevents the spread of fire. Reactive flame retardants form a protective layer when exposed to heat, while synergistic flame retardants combine with other flame retardants to create a more effective flame retardant.
Some of the major companies in the non-halogenated flame retardant market include Albemarle Corporation, Clariant, ICL Industrial Products, and Chemtura Corporation. These companies offer a wide range of non-halogenated flame retardants, including intumescent, reactive, and synergistic flame retardants. Show Less Read more
