Features Of PhireGuard DF-49 Polyurethane Flame Retardant

  1. Halogen-free formulation ensures low smoke density and reduced toxic gas emission during combustion.

  2. Excellent compatibility with flexible and rigid polyurethane foam systems without compromising physical properties.

  3. Efficient char-forming mechanism enhances flame resistance while maintaining foam elasticity and cell structure.

  4. Thermally stable up to 220 °C, supporting standard PU processing temperatures without premature decomposition.

  5. Non-migrating design provides long-term flame-retardant performance and prevents surface blooming or leaching.

Typical Applications Of PhireGuard DF-49 Polyurethane Flame Retardant

  1. Flexible polyurethane foams for upholstered furniture meeting CAL TB 117-2013 and UK BS 5852 standards.

  2. Rigid PU insulation boards used in building envelope applications requiring Euroclass B-s1,d0 classification.

  3. Automotive seating and interior trim components complying with FMVSS 302 and ISO 3795.

  4. Marine cushioning and bedding systems adhering to IMO FTP Code Part 5 fire safety requirements.

  5. Commercial mattress cores and padding materials targeting GREENGUARD Gold and UL 1016 certification pathways.
