Fire Retardant Resins
Safety Without Compromise.
Available across multiple resin families, our flame-retardant (FR) formulations provide enhanced fire resistance while maintaining the mechanical performance and processability you expect.
Built-In Fire Safety for Composites
In applications where fire safety is non-negotiable, resins must meet strict performance standards without sacrificing strength, appearance, or durability.
Our fire-retardant (FR) resins are engineered by incorporating additives and modifiers that slow flame spread, reduce smoke generation, and meet industry-standard flammability ratings. The advantage? FR properties can be applied to any base resin family, whether orthophthalic, isophthalic, NPG, PET hybrid, or vinyl ester.
