FRX Polymers announces that the Company’s Nofia® branded polymeric phosphorus-based flame retardants, Nofia® homopolymers and copolymers, have been added to the TCO certified accepted substance list.
Sustainability Certification for Additives
TCO is the most recognized and world-leading sustainability certification for additives in the electronics and information technology industries. Only flame retardants on the widely used TCO certified accepted substance list may be used for TCO certified products.
Marc Lebel, CEO of FRX Polymers, stated that, “
This news from TCO confirms that Nofia® flame retardants are ideally suited for use in electronics equipment to replace halogenated flame retardants that will no longer be allowed.”
Lebel continued, “
Once again, it is confirmed that OEMs, retailers, and the general public do not need to compromise on sustainability in order to be protected from the catastrophic risks of fire.”
The European Court of Justice ruled on March 16, 2022, that a ban on halogenated flame retardants in enclosures and stands of TVs and monitors, is in conformity with European law.
FRX has developed a line of patent protected products under its Nofia® brand that address the very real and significant problem around the use of certain harmful chemicals that are currently used as flame retardants in several industrial and consumer applications.
FRX has been built on over 120 million dollars of investment and is positioned to be a leader in the transition to environmentally friendly solutions within the 30 billion dollars flame retardant plastics industry. The Company is in commercial production at its facility in Antwerp, Belgium.
