HBCD To Phase Out in the Chinese Market
Emerald Innovation 3000 is a sustainable and superior alternative
The traditionally used flame retardant HBCD (hexabromocyclodododecane) is listed in the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and may no longer be used in China from December 25, 2021. To support you for a smooth transition to HBCD-free materials, LANXESS is happy to provide our know-how on Emerald Innovation™ 3000 (EI 3000), which is a highly efficient, sustainable flame retardant solution for extruded (XPS) and expanded (EPS) polystyrene insulating materials used in the construction industry.
