The demands placed on modern flame retardants have changed considerably over the past years. In addition to effectiveness in the case of fire, environmental considerations also play a role in all phases of the product life cycle - from production, processing, application and recycling, which increasingly plays an important role.

Flame retardants are an important part of fire protection as they not only reduce the risk of a fire starting, but also the risk of the fire spreading.

This function increases escape time and this protects humans, property and the environment.
