Flame retardants are key components for foam production and are applied to our products for safety reasons: to prevent the start or slow down the growth of a fire. Today´s flame retardants have many variations, and Trocellen is already using the ethane type which is considered less critical than the other types: test results proves that the flame retardant we are using do not add dangerous components to the smoke released in a fire case (tested according to several norms of construction, marine and railway sector). This is already a step forward but not enough for our future.
HF - this stands for a novel Trocellen brand of flame retardant PE foams that are produced without any kind of halogen - (bromine, chlorine) or heavy metal containing compounds.
The new halogen free flame retardant product portfolio is already available for the Automotive industry (DIN 75200 with a rate of flame spread < 75 mm/min) and many other applications.
- Benefits
- Keeps the original foam respective technical and mechanical properties, such as the long-lasting thermal stability, compression strength and low VOC values.
- Environmental friendly.
- Does not contain halogens such as bromide and chloride.
- Does not contain any heavy metal such as antimony.
- In case of fire, it does not add any dangerous component to the smoke.
