Fire Safety, Flame Retardancy & Thermal Protection with GFLAM

GFLAM™ Advanced Halogen-Free Flame Retardant Additives

Enhance fire resistance, improve safety compliance, and protect lives and assets with GFLAM™ Flame Retardant Additives—a next-generation range of halogen-free, low-smoke, environmentally responsible flame retardant solutions designed for plastics, coatings, construction materials, cables, foams, adhesives, sealants, and composite systems.

GFLAM™ additives are engineered to meet the growing global demand for non-toxic, sustainable, and regulation-compliant fire protection technologies, without compromising mechanical strength, thermal stability, processing ease, or aesthetics.

Advanced Intumescent & Synergistic Flame Retardant Technology

The GFLAM™ series is based on carefully optimized combinations of:

This synergistic system delivers intumescent fire protection, forming a stable, insulating char layer when exposed to heat or flame. The char barrier effectively blocks heat transfer, oxygen diffusion, and flame propagation, significantly reducing fire growth, smoke density, and toxic gas release.

Hygiene, Safety & Surface Protection with Silver Zeolite, Silver Phosphate & Quaternary Silane Technology

Unlock superior anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal performance with BIOX Made In Japan Anti-Microbial Additives, a next-generation solution designed for plastics, coatings, textiles, construction materials, adhesives, inks, sealants, and hygiene surfaces.

Powered by a synergistic blend of Silver-Zeolite, Silver-Ion Technology, and Quaternary Silane (Q-Silane) chemistry, the BIOX series delivers broad-spectrum microbial protection while ensuring long-term durability, surface compatibility, and safe, non-leaching performance.

As industries move toward high-performance hygiene materials due to rising regulatory and safety expectations, our BIOX anti-microbial additive series provides unmatched protection against bacteria, fungi, molds, algae, viruses, and odor-forming microbes—without compromising mechanical, thermal, or aesthetic properties.

Products Offered

GFLAME
GFLAM-X25

GFLAM-X25 is a halogen-free, phosphorus–nitrogen-based flame retardant designed specifically for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation and jacketing systems. 

GFLAM-APP10 is an Ammonium Polyphosphate (APP) Type I flame retardant, optimized for intumescent systems in thermoplastics such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and EVA

GFLAM-ZB5 is a micronized zinc borate that functions as a smoke suppressant, flame retardant synergist, and arc suppression agent. It decomposes endothermically, releasing water and forming protective boron oxide layers that reduce flame propagation and toxic emissions.

GFLAM-PNZB1 is a multifunctional flame retardant system combining phosphorus-nitrogen synergism with zinc borate to deliver enhanced flame suppression, reduced smoke, and robust carbonaceous char.

Why Choose GFLAM™ Flame Retardant Additives?

Halogen-Free & Environmentally Responsible

GFLAM™ flame retardant additives are completely halogen-free, offering a safer alternative to brominated and chlorinated systems. They meet modern environmental, health, and sustainability requirements while delivering reliable fire protection.

Advanced Intumescent Fire Protection

GFLAM™ formulations create a protective, expanded char layer when exposed to heat or flame. This intumescent barrier blocks heat, oxygen, and flame propagation, significantly slowing fire growth and structural damage.

Low Smoke & Low Toxicity Performance

Unlike traditional flame retardants, GFLAM™ systems generate minimal smoke and toxic gases, making them ideal for enclosed spaces, public buildings, transportation, and electrical applications.

Maintains Mechanical & Aesthetic Properties

GFLAM™ provides high flame retardancy without sacrificing strength, flexibility, thermal stability, or appearance—a key advantage over mineral-heavy systems like ATH or MDH.

Improved Fire Safety Standards Compliance

GFLAM™ supports compliance with:
UL-94 (V-0 / V-1)
Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI)
Glow Wire & IEC standards
RoHS & REACH regulations
This ensures global acceptance across regulated markets.

Reduced Dripping, Afterglow & Fire Spread

The synergistic APP–MP–Zinc Borate system minimizes:
Flaming drips
Afterglow combustion
Secondary ignition risks
Resulting in safer evacuation time and lower fire escalation.

Advantages of Zeolite Silver & Ionized Silver Anti-Microbial Additives Over Other Anti-Microbial Technologies

Organic Biocides: Short lifespan & easily degraded

Zeolite Silver provides multi-year, slow-release protection without degrading under heat, UV, or moisture.

Triclosan / Triclocarban: Regulatory restricted & unsafe

Ionized Silver offers broad-spectrum protection while remaining non-toxic, globally compliant, and environmentally safer.

Zinc Pyrithione (ZPT): Effective but not heat-stable

Silver Zeolite withstands temperatures up to 300–350°C, making it suitable for plastics and high-temperature processing.

Isothiazolinones (MIT/BIT/OIT): Causes skin sensitization

Silver-Ion systems are hypoallergenic and non-irritating, ideal for hygiene coatings, textiles, and consumer products.

Copper-Based Biocides: Effective but cause staining & color issues

Zeolite Silver is non-staining and color-neutral, maintaining brightness and transparency in coatings & polymers.

Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QUATs): Surface-active but easily wiped off

Q-Silane bonds permanently to surfaces, offering durable, long-lasting antimicrobial protection.

Alcohol-Based Systems: Instant kill but no long-term effect

Ionized Silver works continuously, providing ongoing protection long after alcohol evaporates.

Chlorine-Based Cleaners: Corrosive & unstable

Silver Zeolite is non-corrosive, non-reactive, and stable, even in high-humidity environments.

Essential Oils / Natural Antimicrobials: Pleasant but weak & short-lived

Silver releases ions consistently, delivering stronger and more reliable microbial reduction.

UV or Light-Activated Additives: Performance depends on exposure

BIOX Silver-Ion technology works 24/7, regardless of lighting or environmental conditions.

Copper Zeolite: Effective but prone to oxidation

Silver Zeolite resists oxidation and does not lose efficacy, ensuring long-term antimicrobial action.

Enzyme-Based Antimicrobials: Limited to specific microbes

Silver blocks a wide spectrum of microbes, including bacteria, fungi, mold, algae, and yeast.

Traditional Fungicides: High toxicity & environmental impact

Silver Zeolite offers low-toxicity, eco-friendly antimicrobial protection, compliant with global regulations (REACH, EPA, FDA).
