Market Drivers – FR Chemistries
Conventional FR Market
Many of the most effective FR coating chemistries are now banned
or being withdrawn from the European and US markets. Currently,
approx. 40 million tonnes of FR chemicals are sold annually –
anticipated to grow to $7 billion market in 2017.
• 
Increased concerns regarding environmental effects of some of
the most effective FR solutions
• 
Evidence of toxicity and bio-accumulation of halogenated
compounds and carcinogens
• 
New legislation in Europe and USA severely restricts or
eliminates the use of a number of brominated/halogenated
compounds
• 
Alexium FR coatings are environmentally friendly and
contain no such harmful compounds that exist in other
products: Bromine-Free, Chlorine-Free, Antimony-Free,
Heavy Metals-Free

urgent demand for “green” FR chemistry to meet new strict
environmental regulations
•  Award Winning Technology
(WBT 2009, Frost & Sullivan Award)
•  Technology is developed for use with nylon and syntheticcellulosic blends; treatments provide a cost and performance
advantage over existing textile solutions
