FR
Advanced FR Additives for Sustainable Fire Safety
Flame retardant (FR) additives help slow ignition, reduce flame spread, and give people and responders more time to act. They are essential wherever materials must meet strict fire-safety standards across electrical and electronics, building and construction, transportation, automotive and specialized packaging.
Why Tosaf FR

Dedicated FR center
Development and validation with in-house R&D center support.

Compliance-ready

Balanced performance
Flame performance balanced with mechanical properties and processability

Part-optimized
Formulations tuned to geometry and manufacturing method for repeatable results.
Electrical & electronics
FR solutions for housings, connectors, panels, and device interiors where classifications such as UL 94 and glow-wire performance are part of the spec.
Formulation families:
- Polyolefins (PP, PE): Compounds and masterbatches, halogenated or halogen-free, configured for application-relevant thicknesses.
- Styrenics (ABS, HIPS, PC/ABS): Options for interior and device parts, including halogen-free selections.
Building & construction
FR solutions for insulation, pipe components, film, sheets and interior fixtures where compliance with regional building requirements is mandatory.
Formulation families:
- Polyolefins (PP, PE): Grades and MBs designed for processing consistency and target classifications.
- Styrenics: Application-specific options on request.
Transportation
Support for interior components that must meet program fire criteria and maintain long-term mechanical performance.
Formulation families:
- Polyolefins and styrenics: Halogenated and halogen-free routes configured to article geometry and thickness.
Sustainability
Choose FR routes that align with your material policy, smoke-profile priorities, and compliance path.
Formulation families:
- Halogen-free: Formulations that help programs prioritize smoke profile and regulatory preferences in relevant polymers and tests.
- ATO-free: Alternatives that remove antimony trioxide from the bill of materials to support supply and policy goals.
- Reduction of product carbon footprint through the use of low-emission raw materials
FAQs
Both deliver flame retardancy. Halogen-free routes are often selected for programs that prioritize smoke profile and certain regulatory preferences. Selection depends on polymer, thickness, and target standard.
Yes. Tosaf provides ATO-free routes that maintain required fire performance while helping de-risk supply.
Polyolefins and styrenics are the primary focus for the solutions outlined here. Contact us for current products by polymer, color, and thickness.
Yes. Our FR R&D center supports test plans and iterations for common fire-safety standards and can mirror production on pilot equipment where needed.
