Flame Retardant Chemical Materials from Pefrc

The Phosphate Ester Flame Retardant Consortium

Established in 2002 the Phosphate Ester Flame Retardant Consortium (PEFRC) brings together manufacturers and users of phosphate ester flame retardants in fire retardant fabrics and other applications, and aims to provide a global scientific knowledge centre concerning the family of specialty chemicals: phosphate ester flame retardants – Caring for life and property.

Phosphate esters have been used for more than fifty years and have a number of applications including use in fire retardant fabric, fire retardant clothing, and other flame retardant chemical materials. Over twenty chemicals of this family are currently marketed as flame retardants where they are used to improve the fire safety of a wide range of materials from plastics to cables. The range of chemicals available allows specific solutions to be developed for different materials and applications.

PEFRC represents the major global producers of phosphate ester flame retardants either as full members or via product focused consortia. It acts as a unified voice and reference source promoting the interests of the key players of the phosphate ester flame retardant industry to consumers, key stakeholders, institutions and national authorities and governments.
