Replacing harmful flame retardants

pinfa member Flamaway – CTF 2000 is part of the Belgium BBBC project FONT for SSbD PIN flame retardants for textiles. The project aims to replace brominated flame retardants for textiles (such as DBDPE or TBBPA) by safer, bio-based flame retardants, using the EU SSbD (Safe & Sustainable by Design) Framework (to TRL 1-3 based on lignin chemistry), and to develop targeted ecotoxicological testing methods adapted for small sample sizes and in silico (computer modelling and AI) to optimise SSbD PIN FR chemical design and selection for safer textiles. The project brings together Apeiron, KU Leuven, CentexBel and Flamaway-CTF2000 and runs from 2025 to 2026
