Fact Sheet: Assessing Risks from Flame Retardants | US EPA
The cluster has been used as a flame retardant in extruded and expanded polystyrene foams (EPS/XPS), polystyrene (PS) products, textiles, paints and coatings. The cluster includes: Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD, CASRN: 25637-99-4) 1,2,5,6,9,10-Hexabromocyclododecane; CASRN: 3194-55-6) 1,2,5,6-Tetrabromocyclooctane (CASRN: 3194-57-8)
- Why are flame retardants important?
- Flame retardants can provide an important layer of fire protection by preventing and delaying ignition, slowing the combustion process, and making a material self-extinguishing. Flame retardants are derived from naturally-sourced elements and are incorporated into materials such as plastics, textiles, foams, and paints.
- How can we improve the circularity of flame retardants?
- Industry is committed to seeking ways to advance the circularity of flame retardants. A recently conducted pilot program shows that unique marker systems can be deployed to help whole value chains improve compliance, traceability and circularity of flame retardants throughout the life cycle of plastic used in consumer products.
- Can a flame retardant marker help a value chain?
- A recently conducted pilot program shows that unique marker systems can be deployed to help whole value chains improve compliance, traceability and circularity of flame retardants throughout the life cycle of plastic used in consumer products. NAFRA’s members represent the world’s leading producers and users of a variety of flame retardants.
- Are organophosphorus compounds suitable substitutes for brominated flame retardants?
- Due to their technical characteristics, organophosphorus compounds (OPs) are well known as suitable substitutes for brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and have been extensively used worldwide for several decades (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2005).
