Flame-retardant Powder Coating Additive Certified by Oeko-Tex
Posted on Tuesday, April 7, 2015
Archroma, a specialty chemicals
maker, has announced that its novel
halogen-free flame-retardant powder
coating additive, Pekoflam HFC,
has been officially recognized as a
manufacturer certified product by the
Oeko-Tex Association.
Being the first powder additive
to be listed for coating applications,
Pekoflam HFC will support textile
producers and protective clothing
manufacturers in their efforts to
achieve both Oeko-Tex 100 compliance
and effective fire protection for their
finished goods.
The additive is an organic
phosphorous/nitrogen compound
that can combine the effects and
properties of selected halogenated and
non-halogenated technologies in a fire
protection solution for various coating
polymers. It is designed to offer a
sustainable long-term alternative for
synthetic textile applications, meeting
the criteria of the Oeko-Tex Standard
100 and responding to the general
trend towards more environmentally
compatible materials and end products
that pose significantly lower risks to
health.
