Abstract
The challenges of finding substitutes for banned halogen-containing flame-retardants (HFFRs) more specifically bromine-based
FRs (BFRs) include lower flame retardancy, high cost, serious melt-dripping and deterioration in mechanical properties of halogen-free
products. Phosphorous-based FRs (both additive and reactive types), silicon FRs, intumescent flame-retardants (IFRs), nano-materials
including nano composites, bio macromolecules, use of catalysts provide some alternatives to halogen-based FRs.
Keywords: Halogen-free flame retardants; Phosphorous-based flame-retardants; Intumescent flame-retardants; Nano composites; Bio
