Flame Retardants / Fire Retardants

Based on 432 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Flame retardants enhance fire safety without compromising bonding performance. They improve thermal stability during processing with minimal impact on mechanical properties. Used in construction adhesives, transportation applications, and electronic assembly. 

Industry trends focus on halogen-free formulations that address environmental and health concerns associated with traditional options. Major categories include phosphorus-based compounds, inorganic hydroxides, nitrogen-containing types forming intumescent chars, and specialty mineral fillers enhancing overall fire resistance.

ROFLAM 6

by PCC Rokita

ROFLAM 6 by PCC Rokita is N,N-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl) aminomethane phosphonic acid diethyl ester. Acts as non-halogen reactive flame retardant for rigid polyurethane foams. It is also used for epoxy resins, acrylic resins and phenolics. Suitable for use in adhesives. ROFLAM 6 has a shelf life of 6 months.

ULTEM™ Resin 1000P

by SABIC

ULTEM™ Resin 1000P by SABIC is polyetherimide-based flame retardant. It is a high-performance polymer that combines excellent thermal properties, exceptional dimensional stability and good chemical resistance. It imparts improved dispersion, faster dissolution in standard solvents, low smoke evolution and toxicity. It can accelerate dissolution times by 4-6. It promotes non-halogenated flame retardance and offers stable di-electrical constant and dissipation factors. ULTEM™ Resin 1000P has a high glass transition temperature together with excellent long-term heat resistance.
