LOTTE Chemical has made a significant breakthrough in developing a new flame-retardant polypropylene (PP) material. This material has achieved a Class A rating in the ASTM E84 test, a key benchmark for flame retardancy in building materials in regions like North America and the Middle East. Unique for being halogen-free and non-toxic, this material presents a safer, eco-friendly alternative to conventional flame retardants.
Scheduled for use in Middle Eastern building interiors in 2024, it holds potential for broader applications in the automotive and home appliance sectors.
The material's low flame spread and smoke generation indices further underline its safety credentials in fire scenarios. LOTTE Chemical intends to actively venture into the building interior finishing materials market across North America and the Middle East with this innovative product.
According to the article by Procurement Resource, LOTTE Chemical's new halogen-free, recyclable flame-retardant PP material, rated Class A in ASTM E84, is set for use in Middle Eastern building interiors in 2024.
