Aim of flame protection media
A vision for Flame Retardants
- Modern flame retardants should not be toxic to humans, animals or plants.
- They should not migrate, i.e. should not be released from the finished product through evaporation. This is best achieved by using reactive flame retardants that react within the polymer.
- In addition, modern flame retardants should not release additional toxic or corrosive smoke gases during a fire.
- The recycling properties of the product should not be negatively affected.
- Flame retardants must be environmentally-friendly, i.e. either neutral or bio-degradable.
