FAQs
What are flame retardants and how do they work?
Flame retardants (FRs) are additives or reactives that reduce a material’s flammability. They act through different mechanisms, such as heat absorption (endothermic cooling), gas phase radical quenching, char/barrier layer formation (intumescence), and smoke suppression—slowing ignition and limiting flame spread.
Which industries does Nordmann supply with flame retardant solutions?
We support all relevant industries, such as construction, electronics & electrical, automotive & transportation, textiles, wire & cable, coatings/adhesives/sealants (CASE), and composites—from building panels and insulation to connectors, housings, interior trims, upholstery, cables and protective textiles.
What chemistries does Nordmann offer?
Our portfolio spans mineral FRs (e.g., aluminum trihydrate/ATH, magnesium hydroxide/MDH), phosphorus and phosphorus- nitrogen systems (including DEPAL and intumescence packages like APP based systems), expandable graphite, synergists (e.g., zinc borate, molybdates, certain antimony formulations where permitted), and tailormade FR masterbatches.
