A class of compounds known as flame retardants is created to stop or delay the spread of fire and lessen the flammability of materials. They are essential to improving fire safety in a variety of applications, including those involving consumer goods, building materials, electronics, and transportation. Based on their chemical makeup and manner of operation, flame retardants can be divided into various categories.
Flame retardants’ main objective is to give building occupants more time to flee in the event of a fire or to stop the start of a fire and the spread of flames entirely. They exert their effects by a variety of processes, including as slowing down the pace at which heat is released, producing a shield of protection on the material’s surface, and stopping combustion. Halogenated substances, substances containing phosphorus, substances based on nitrogen, and inorganic additions like borates and hydrates are some examples of typical flame retardant chemistries.
The flame retardants accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
A leading manufacturer of speciality chemicals, LANXESS developed and produces flame retardants under the name Levagard. By preventing or slowing the spread of flames in a variety of materials and applications, Levagard products are intended to improve fire safety. These flame retardants have a reputation for outstanding performance, environmental friendliness, and adherence to strict safety rules.
Numerous halogen-free flame retardants from the Levagard product range are often used in sectors like transportation, electronics, construction, and the automotive industry. They are the favored option for manufacturers looking for high-performance fire safety solutions because they provide good fire protection without sacrificing the mechanical capabilities of the materials they are added to.
The capacity of Levagard flame retardants to tolerate high temperatures is one of their main advantages. In order to guarantee that the treated materials preserve their integrity and usefulness even in extremely hot environments, they offer greater thermal stability. Their suitability for applications where exposure to fire or high temperatures is a problem results from this.
Engineering plastics like polyamides (nylons) and polyesters, where they help strengthen the fire resistance of these materials, are especially well-suited for the application of Levagard flame retardants. To improve the fire safety of electronic devices, Levagard is frequently used in printed circuit boards (PCBs), connections, and housings in the electronics sector.
