https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-12/Cesa Fiber Additives Flame Retardants for Synthetic Fibers and Nonwovens Application Bulletin.pdf
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.
