    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

    Halogenated, halogen-free, and ATO-free routes aligned

    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

    What is the difference between halogenated and halogen-free FR? plus minus

    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.

    Do you offer ATO-free options? plus minus

    Yes. Tosaf provides ATO-free routes that maintain required fire performance while helping de-risk supply.

    Which polymers are supported? plus minus

    Polyolefins and styrenics are the primary focus for the solutions outlined here. Contact us for current products by polymer, color, and thickness.

    Can Tosaf help with testing? plus minus

    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.
