Our Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes flame retardant solutions as additive concentrates which are incorporated into the polymer during the spin-dyeing process. APPLICATIONS Cesa Fiber Additives for flame retardancy are recommended for spun-dyed PP, PET and PA fibers used in applications such as automotive textiles, home and office furnishings, clothing, and carpeting. CHEMISTRY Avient’s non-halogen flame retardant systems for fibers can be applied to decrease the flammability of polypropylene, while nitrogen and phosphorous based chemistries are used to impart flame retardant properties to polyester and polyamide PA 6 and PA 6.6.
