A new, halogen-free flame retardant has been developed by Israeli materials specialist Tosaf (Afula; www.tosaf.com). The masterbatch is being marketed under the name, FR9185PE, and is said to be suitable for use in cross-linked and non-cross-linked polyethylene foams. The company sees sales opportunities primarily in the construction, logistics, and automotive sectors.
