Halogen Free Flame Retardant

Halogen Free Flame Retardants (HFFRs) are chemical compounds used in materials to increase their fire resistance. Unlike traditional flame retardants, HFFRs do not contain halogens such as chlorine or bromine, making them more environmentally friendly and less of a health risk when the fabric is burning.

These special additives react during a fire by absorbing heat and slowing down or suppressing the spread of flames. HFFRs are crucial for manufacturing safe and fire-resistant products in various industries.

Their use enables the meeting of stringent safety standards without impacting the environment. The introduction of halogen free flame retardants is driven by concerns about the environmental and health impacts of halogenated compounds, which are known to produce harmful gases when burned and persist in ecosystems and organisms. The use of halogen free flame retardants represents a sustainable and safer approach to reduce the flammability of materials.
