Enflame 950 is a non-halogenated ultra-fine particle flame retardant which develops its effectiveness through phosphorus/nitrogen synergism. When incorporated into thermoplastics, it shows high processing stability. Enflame 950 differs in its mode of action from chlorine- or bromine-containing flame retardants by achieving its effect through intumescence. The thermoplastic material foams on exposure to flame. The carbon foam layer so formed protects the polymer through its heat-insulating effect, reduces further oxygen access and prevents dripping of the thermoplastic.
