Making polyethylene flame retardant without halogens

Polyethylene is used for cable insulation, films and profiles. HOFNIL additives give it flame retardancy by intumescence: a char forms under heat and shields the polymer.

This reduces the generation of both dark smoke and carbon monoxide during combustion.

Grades for polyethylene

HOFNIL-312A

Highly efficient halogen-free flame retardant for polyolefins

An advanced nitrogen-phosphorus based halogen-free flame retardant for polyolefins: polypropylene (homopolymer and copolymer) and polyethylene (LLDPE, HDPE, LDPE), filled and unfilled, and for HIPS, TPE, SEBS and other elastomers. It has high purity and gives excellent flame retardancy.

  • Recommended for PP, high and low-density PE, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers, synthetic rubber, ABS, PBT, HIPS, SEBS and TPE.
  • Flame retardancy by intumescence, with less dark smoke and carbon monoxide.
  • Low density and high mechanical properties in the finished compound.

HOFNIL-FR A2M

Melamine-coated ammonium polyphosphate II

Ammonium polyphosphate with a melamine coating that improves thermal stability, water resistance and overall performance. It has extremely low water solubility, is completely insoluble in organic solvents, non-hygroscopic and non-flammable, with improved powder flow.
