Amfine Chemical Corporation is a joint venture between Adeka Corporation and Mitsubishi Corporation. Amfine is the sales, marketing, technical services, business development and manufacturing arm of Adeka in North America. Adeka is a global leader of polymer additives and non-halogen flame retardants (N-HFR). Amfine is focused on the growth and value that N-HFR provide to our environment and to the safety of all. Adeka is the only manufacturer of N-HFR that carries the UL Verified mark on the FP-2000 Product Series. Amfine’s product portfolio of N-HFR’s are currently used in Automotive, Appliances, Wire and Cable, Coatings and Adhesives, 3D Printing, Electronics, Building and Construction and other select market segments. The FP-2000 series of products include, the FP-2100JC which has the highest processing temperature capability (260°C) in the market. The FP-2500S was developed to reduce the necessary loading level while improving processing and handling. The FP-2600U is a newly developed product designed for use in thermoplastic polyurethanes. The FP-2100JC and FP-2500S are designed for use in polypropylene, polyethylene and TPO compounds. The 600(BDP) and FP-900L(Bisphenol A free type) FP-products are focused for use in polycarbonate resins and polycarbonate-based compounds and alloys. The FP-Product Series of N-HFR exhibit very low heat release and have very low smoke toxicity characteristics when compared to halogenated flame retardants. The FP-Product Series can be formulated to obtain UL-94 flame performance of V0, 5VA and 5VB at 1.6 mm and above.

Clariant is a producer of non-halogen phosphorus based flame retardants and polymer additives. Under the tradename Exolit®, Clariant offers a distinct range of neat flame retardants and synergistic blends. Exolit® flame retardants offer tailor-made fire protection for thermoplastics including engineering resins, elastomers, thermosets, coatings, adhesives, textiles and specialty applications. Several grades carry our sustainability label EcoTain® and ongoing developments will generate renewable carbon based types (Exolit OP Terra®).

Huber Engineered Materials for over four decades has been a trusted and global supplier of alumina trihydrate (ATH), magnesium hydroxide (MDH), engineered molybdates and nitrogen-phosphorus fire retardant technology. We offer a broad product line of high performing halogen-free fire retardant additives to exceed the requirements of compounders and producers. Our technical and commercial expertise is the foundation to developing innovative treated and untreated products and solutions that meet the exacting requirements for each application. Along with our global presence and array of fire retardants and smoke suppressants, Huber is dedicated to outstanding technical service and unsurpassed customer care. Our scientists work directly with customers in conducting extensive testing to replicate application situations so tailored solutions are developed.

Technical Fibre Products (TFP) is a leading global manufacturer of wet-laid nonwovens. Our advanced materials provide solutions for challenging applications in aerospace, defence, fuel cells, composites, automotive and construction. We pride ourselves on the performance and quality of our nonwovens, and specialise in developing them to meet customer specific requirements.

TFP manufacture a versatile range of lightweight fire protection materials called Tecnofire®. These intumescent materials are designed for use in both construction gap filling applications and as part of composite systems, where they are effective in protecting the underlying structure, while reducing smoke and heat release.

Tecnofire has performed successfully in a range of fire testing and has been specified for use in bridges, fire doors, aircraft and mass transport applications such as buses, trams and trains as a result of this. Success in fire testing includes (amongst others) a recent study where parts of the EN45545-2 rail sector standard were passed with a coveted HL2 R1 rating, as well as achieving Class A rating for Walls, Ceilings and Plenums in ASTM E84-11a. Tecnofire is also extensively used in the construction of 30, 60 & 90 minute fire rated doors, which have been Intertek certified (UL10C & NFPA 252) and awarded the Warnock Hersey Mark.

Tecnofire offers a number of advantages in composites; it is easy to incorporate at the surface, is readily infusible, requires no additional processing steps and the required mechanical properties can still be met.

TOLSA´s ADINS® products are unique additives that bring significant performance advantages for halogen and halogen-free flame retardant systems. ADINS® Clay and ADINS® Fireproof, the range of flame-retardant additives, are based on a breakthrough technology using natural silicates, offering tailored performance benefits and making possible the partial replacement of the high-loaded flame retardant system. Tolsa’s Fire technology continues to evolve and ADINS® synergists grow in a wide range of systems that require the highest standards of flame retardancy. ADINS® is highly versatile and can be fine-tuned to meet the high-performance needs of formulators and end users.

TOLSA, has one of the most extensive and differentiated range of special clays worldwide, offering a broad range of additives and industrial products that provide high added value and improve the performance and efficiency of materials. TOLSA has more than 32 mining operations to produce the highest quality sepiolite, bentonite and attapulgite, which generate more than 150 million tons of raw materials. The acquisition of new deposits is a key priority in order to renew reserves as well as to offer each customer other types of raw materials to meet their needs. TOLSA focuses on intelligent production that is modern, efficient, precise, flexible, punctual, safe, and respectful of the environment. Each process is subjected to stringent quality controls and the company is certified under ISO 9000 and ISO 14000. TOLSA has a production capacity of more than 1,2 million tons, and its factories are located near mining operations, or in port areas near end users.
