FLAMER BY ILVA POLIMERI: THE NEW LINE OF FLAME RETARDANT POLYURETHANE ELASTOMERS WITHOUT ANY SIDE EFFECTS.

February 2004 - ILVA Polimeri has always run research and development programmes on peak technology products, used for making synthetic leather. In order to solve the difficult equation "performance/side effects" in this sector, ILVA Polimeri has formulated FLAMER, the innovative line of anti-flame polyurethane resins.

The innovative feature of FLAMER provides anti-flame performance without either containing any compound which could develop toxic gases or generating them in case of combustion.

Another significant problem FLAMER has solved in this sector - production of synthetic leather for home, industrial and sanitary furnishing, for clothes and for work shoes - is the maintenance of the anti-flame characteristic in items, which, in order to obtain the necessary approvals, are washed several times in extreme conditions. As a matter of fact, after such treatment, the anti-flame characteristic is often lost or considerably weakened.

Thanks to the introduction in the polymer chain of a molecule providing flame retarding capability, FLAMER offers permanent anti-flame performance and high resistance to hydrolysis.

This feature provides the polymers with maximum long-term resistance, both in terms of use and washes, even more than what the standard requires.

High technical performance and zero toxic compounds: these features make FLAMER by ILVA Polimeri a significant technological innovation in the polyurethane elastomers sector.
