Safire® 400 nitrogen-phosphorus fire retardant (FR) technology from Huber Advanced Materials is designed to impart enhanced fire retardancy, smoke suppression and char formation compared with commonly available phosphate products. Huber has applied its fire retardant additive expertise in this novel category to create effective FR solutions for the most demanding applications, including thermoplastics, thermosets and coatings. The Safire® 400 technology also offers synergistic opportunities with our existing array of alumina trihydrate (ATH), magnesium hydroxide (MDH) and Kemgard® molybdate products.

 

The Safire® technology system is versatile and can be utilized as an effective flame retardant and smoke suppressant in these popular resin systems:

• Epoxy
• Polyamides (PAs)
• Polyesters (PBT; PET)
• Polyurethanes
• Polyolefins
• Elastomers

 

The Safire® Technology is designed to help you meet the most rigorous demands in these specific applications:

• Electrical and Electronics
• Wire and Cable
• Building and Construction
• Transportation

Kemgard 3001 is a halogen-free smoke suppressant and fire retardant, expertly formulated for PVC applications. Leveraging advanced ammonium octamolybdate (AOM) technology, it offers improved thermal stability, lower water solubility, and cost efficiency, making it ideal for meeting stringent fire safety standards in commercial building materials.

Micral 916 is a high-surface-area alumina trihydrate with precise, ultrafine particle distribution, providing a cost-effective, halogen-free flame retardant and smoke suppressant solution for wire insulation, polyolefins, and coatings. It offers excellent suspension, brightness, and adaptable surface modifications.
