Flame retarded masterbatches (MAKROFLAM FR) and flame retardant compounds are based on PE, PP, EVA copolymer or other resins, such as ABS and PS (MAKROFLAM®). The reduced flammability effect is achieved either by adding classical (i.e. halogenated) or halogen-free flame retardants using combinations and levels which assure the compliance of resulting material with the standards to be met for a given application.
