Roflam BR 102 is a high-performance flame retardant belonging to the group of modified aryl phosphates. Within the Roflam product range, it is distinguished by an increased phosphorus content, which ensures outstanding effectiveness in reducing the flammability of end products. This, in turn, contributes to enhanced safety and compliance with stringent fire safety standards. The product is supplied as a clear, homogeneous liquid with good miscibility and compatibility with other liquid formulation components, which facilitates its integration into various polymer systems.
Roflam BR 102’s mechanism of action is based on inhibiting the combustion process in the solid phase by forming a charred layer on the material surface. This layer acts as a protective barrier, cutting off the oxygen supply to the burning zone and effectively limiting flame propagation. The product is completely halogen-free, which eliminates the emission of toxic gases such as hydrogen chloride (HCl) or hydrogen bromide (HBr), typically released during the combustion of traditional halogenated flame retardants. As a result, it increases user safety and minimises environmental impact.
Roflam BR 102 also demonstrates synergistic effects when used in combination with solid flame retardants, enabling the achievement of high fire performance standards required in sectors such as automotive and aerospace. Its liquid form additionally allows it to act as a viscosity reducer, making it possible to precisely adjust the rheological properties of a formulation according to individual customer requirements.
The product is intended for use in unsaturated polyester resins and epoxy resins, which are widely used across various industrial sectors. Furthermore, Roflam BR 102 is broadly applied in the composites, paints, and protective coatings industries, where its properties contribute to enhanced fire safety without compromising the quality and functionality of the final products. Thanks to these features, Roflam BR 102 represents a versatile and modern solution for manufacturers striving to improve the fire safety standards of their products.
