FIRE SAFETY Phosphorus, Inorganic and Nitrogen (PIN) flame retardants protect people from death and injury in fire. They are used to improve the fire safety of materials and to meet safety standards in consumer goods, buildings, transport and industry. PIN flame retardants prevent fire from starting or delay its development, allowing more time for people to escape. Smoke and toxic fire gases are often the biggest danger in fires because of toxicity, immobilisation of victims and visual inhibition of escape. PIN flame retardants reduce gas emissions by reducing burning, and tend to ensure low-smoke and reduced gas corrosivity. |

ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN HEALTH PIN flame retardants are non-halogenated. Our goal is to limit risks to human health and the environment in the production, use and end-of-life of fire-safe products. We work with environmental groups, scientists and others to assess and improve our products across environmental and health benchmarks. |
