Elevate your material performance with halogen-free flame retardants that meet the demands of safety, sustainability and regulation.

Halogen-free GERPHOS® flame retardants

Our next‐generation GERPHOS® family offers a robust solution for the modern challenge of fire safety: replacing traditional halogenated flame retardants with high-performance, halogen-free alternatives. These solutions not only reduce ignition risk and slow flame spread, but also avoid the environmental, health and regulatory burdens associated with halogenated compounds.

WHY HALOGEN-FREE FLAME RETARDANTS MATTERS

Versatile compatibility – Fits into modern resin systems and advanced material structures without major reformulation.

Regulatory readiness – Many jurisdictions now restrict halogenated flame retardants; switching to halogen-free reduces risk of future bans and conformity issues.

Sustainability – Halogen-free systems offer lower toxic by-products when burned and improved recyclability of materials.

Performance retention – With GERPHOS you don’t sacrifice performance: lower heat release, reduced smoke, maintained strength and processability.

HOW GERPHOS® MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Each GERPHOS halogen-free formulation is developed through extensive fire-testing, toxicology analysis, and material optimization. Our products are compatible with modern resin chemistries, ensuring:

• Easy drop-in integration with minimal reformulation;
• Broad compatibility with thermoset and thermoplastic systems;
• Excellent thermal stability and dispersion;
• Reliable performance in both thin-film and structural applications.

SETTING THE STANDARD FOR NON-HALOGENATED FLAME RETARDANCY

From polymer manufacturers to end-product engineers, GERPHOS helps partners transition to safer formulations without trade-offs. Our R&D team continuously refines phosphorus-based technologies that deliver next-generation, halogen-free fire protection meeting or exceeding standards such as EN 45545-2, FAR 25.853, UL 94, and ASTM E662.
