While the demand for flame resistant products has never been greater, the solutions to achieve these properties are under increasing scrutiny. New methods, processes, and chemistries are needed to drive performance of flame resistant products that utilize environmentally benign materials and sustainable processes. We will discuss our efforts to bring innovative and sustainable solutions to market in a maturing field by creating novel chemistries for protective flame resistant fabrics. An overview of the field as well as a deep dive into our modern phosphorus-based flame retardant chemistries and fabric processing will be discussed.
