It is mainly used where moulded final fireproofed articles with outstanding properties are needed, in particular areas where good mechanical properties together with very high electrical properties are required and where the natural red or black pigmentation are acceptable. The main applications include electric installation systems, industrial switching units, household electrical equipment, automation technology and automotive.
Evaluated Alternative Natural and flame retardant free mattress Cottonsafe manufactures a wide range of handcrafted, natural bed mattresses that are 100% chemical free. One of these is called Topsham Natural Mattress. This mattress is completely unique and naturally fire retardant with no add on treatments such as fire retardants coating or chemicals.
Evaluated Alternative Exolit® OP 560 low-emission, non-halogenated flame retardant for polyurethanes Exolit® OP 560 is a phosphorus-based flame retardant that allows meeting stringent emission and migration requirements, because it becomes an integral part of the polyrethane polymer by chemical reaction. Furthermore, stringent fire safety standards such as the FMVSS 302 (SE), BS 5852 (Crib 5), FAR 25.853 appendix F, part II and more can be passed.
Evaluated Alternative Exolit® AP non-halogenated flame retardants – making polyurethanes safer The Exolit® AP products are phosphorus-based flame retardants for polyurethanes that allow meeting stringent emission and migration requirements, because they are inorganic solids with low vapor pressure and solubility. Furthermore stringent fire safety standards such as the FMVSS 302 (SE), EN 13501-1 (E) or DIN 4102 (B2) can be passed.
Evaluated Alternative Exolit® OP non-halogenated flame retardants – Patented chemistry for more safety The Exolit® OP products are phosphorus-based flame retardants that allow polyamide and polyester compounds to achieve stringent fire safety standards such as the UL94- V0 rating down to thin thicknesses and for all colors.
Evaluated Alternative SOL FR® - flame retardants made from natural cellulose The new generation of environmentally friendly silicone-nitrogen FR cellulose fiber SOL FR® is made from raw materials including natural cellulose and flame retardants. SOL FR® is produced through spinning and solidifying after a grafting reaction between cellulose solution and new silicon-nitrogen flame retardants, which can remain its original frameshape after burning without releasing toxic smoke and exerting bad effect on natural environment after its waste degradation, overcoming the current problems of poisonous gas released by burning phosphorus-containing flame-resistant fabric and water eutrophication in the process of waste degradation. The filament and stable fiber produced by this technique can be used to make into military protective clothing, firefighter uniform, knitting and weaving textile products for household and public interior furnishings.
