Flame Retardants

Specialized and Environmentally Friendly

Spartan flame retardants are formulated for use in a wide array of markets, industries, applications and substrates and are receiving increased attention as industry and consumers recognize the hazards of fires, and as government agencies pass regulations to prevent fires.  As a result, a wide variety of materials are being treated with flame retardants.  No universal flame retardant is suitable for all applications.  Therefore, a flame retardant must be selected and tested to satisfy the requirements of each specific use.  

Markets and applications include various fabrics and substrates, including markets such as construction, textiles, military, automotive, aerospace, upholstery, convention, educational and many others. Please see specific product details for additional information.

Our product line includes Flame Retardants that are “GREEN” eco-friendly and do not contain any heavy metals, ozone depletion or unacceptable halogen compounds. We custom formulate and test your materials to meet your critical requirements. 

Our team stands ready to work to accommodate your specific needs.
​The amount of flame retardant necessary to meet desired requirements will vary with the nature of the emulsion polymer and the substrates to which the emulsion is applied. Generally, 10-20% addition is adequate for most applications.
