With Firemaster® 550, Great Lakes has lead
the effort to develop the next generation of cost-effective, environmentally
responsive flame retardants that exceed the highest fire safety
standards. Firemaster® 550 is a penta replacement. It is available
in the Americas and Asia Pacific regions only.
Although
the EPA has concluded that PBDEs are not a risk to the public, there
is growing public concern about the persistence and bioaccumulation
of penta products. Accordingly, Great Lakes has decided to work
proactively with customers to transition away from Penta-PBDE in
an orderly manner, years ahead of any legislatively-mandated deadlines.
Firemaster® 550 has certain commercial applications that are
superior to the penta-based products it will replace. Because of
its physical and chemical properties, Firemaster 550 can now be
used for flame lamination in products such as automobile headliners.
It can also be used as a fire retardant in insulation foam, packaging
foam and acoustical foam.
