Industrial Products (ICL-IP) today announced the launch of TexFRon(TM)
product line, next-generation flame retardants developed to provide a
sustainable textile fire safety solution. The TexFRon(TM) product line’s
efficiency reduces the textile end-product chemical footprint.
TexFRon(TM) products are water-based dispersions designed to meet
stringent flame retardant requirements for a broad range of fabric finishes.
Pre-launch field testing has confirmed that TexFRon(TM) product line is
sustainable and durable, even after many washing cycles.
The TexFRon(TM) series includes four separate products:
- TexFRon 9025 and TexFRon 9020: flame retardancy solutions for
soak-and-wash-durable FR coating and back-coating formulations.
- TexFRon P and TexFRon P+: flame retardancy solutions based on
acrylic co-polymer emulsions with chemically-bound bromine. Designed to
enable textile formulators and finishers to produce FR cotton,
polyester and cotton/polyester fabrics durable up to 50 laundry cycles.
ICL-IP Industrial Products is one of ICL’s (TASE: ICL) three operating
segments. It produces bromine, magnesia and chlorine from Dead Sea brines,
and manufactures and markets a range of compounds, including a large variety
of flame retardants, bromides for industry, agriculture and water treatment
