Flame retardant Roflam F5

Roflam F5 flame retardant is a chemical compound called phenyl-isopropyl phenyl phosphate successfully used in epoxy resins, unsaturated polyester resins and vinyl ester resins, which are used in applications requiring high fire resistance. Roflam F5 has an excellent synergistic effect with other flame retardants, e.g. with melamine, inorganic fillers. It is a highly specialized additive for plastics used in industries such as: CASE, construction, furniture, transport, refrigeration and household appliances. One of the most important applications of Roflam F5 is the application for intumescent, fire-resistant paints that form a protective barrier. This type of coating is used to protect steel structures in construction and shipbuilding (e.g. fire-resistant paints are used to cover the structures of skyscrapers and airports, ship hulls, fire-resistant doors).

Roflam F5 flame retardant is used in industries such as:
• CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, Elastomers) - coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers
• construction - assembly foams, seals, spray insulation, sandwich panels, fire retardant paints
• furniture industry - mattresses, pillows, seats, upholstered furniture
• transport - elements of seats in vehicles, soundproofing elements, structures of refrigerated cars
• refrigeration industry and household appliances - elements of industrial cold stores, refrigerators.

The current legal regulations regarding fire safety imply the use of materials that meet rigorous flammability tests. Most plastics are flammable materials, therefore it is necessary to increase their fire resistance by introducing flame retardant additives. Flame retardants, also known as flame retardants, increase the fire resistance of the material, inhibit the burning process, reduce the rate of fire spread, and prevent the burning material from dripping. Thanks to them, the susceptibility of the material to ignition is reduced, which translates into an increase in the level of fire safety. The use of flame retardants also reduces the burning process, which in turn allows you to extend the rescue operation.
