Non-halogenated flame retardant additives for plastics, polymers, LSZH cable compounds and low-smoke applications. These halogen free flame retardant systems are selected by resin, flame rating, smoke target, processing method and compliance requirements.

Halogen free flame retardants are non-halogenated systems used when buyers need flame performance with low-smoke, environmental or end-market compliance requirements.
This direction avoids halogen content while still targeting UL94, LOI, smoke or customer-specific flame performance for non-halogenated requirements.
For cable compounds, enclosed applications and materials where smoke performance is as important as flame rating.
For buyers that need balanced flame performance, dispersion, smoke control and processing stability without building every component from zero.

The right choice depends on resin, processing temperature, smoke target and mechanical performance.
For selected plastics requiring char formation, halogen-free direction and a balance of flame rating and mechanical performance.
For PP, PA and selected engineering plastics where synergistic flame retardant performance and processing balance are required.
For low-smoke and high-loading applications where mechanical properties, processing and dispersion must be managed carefully.
For buyers who need a formulated halogen-free package instead of selecting every component separately.
Halogen-free flame retardant plastics, cable compounds and engineering materials need different additive systems. Use this table as a first filter before sample testing.
| Polymer | Halogen-Free Direction | Main Concern | Product Form | Typical Targets | Processing Notes | Related Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PP / Polypropylene | Phosphorus-nitrogen or intumescent systems | Dispersion and mechanical retention | Additive or masterbatch | UL94 V-2 / V-0 · LOI 26–32 | Check dispersion, smoke and mechanical retention | PP application |
| PE / Polyethylene | Mineral or compounded low-smoke systems | High loading and processing stability | Additive, compound or masterbatch | UL94 HB / V-2 · LOI 24–30 | Often linked to cable, pipe or film requirements | PE application |
| PVC | Low-smoke non-halogenated PVC direction | Smoke density, plasticizer and flexibility | Custom additive blend | LOI 30–38 · low smoke | Confirm flexible/rigid PVC, plasticizer and smoke target | PVC application |
| PC / PC-ABS | Engineering plastic halogen-free systems | Heat resistance, color and UL94 thickness | Additive or masterbatch | UL94 V-0 @ 1.5 mm · heat resistance | Confirm heat resistance, color, transparency and UL94 thickness | PC / PC-ABS |
| PA / Nylon | Halogen-free flame retardant nylon direction | Processing temperature and reinforcement | Additive or masterbatch | UL94 V-0 · GWFI 960 °C | Confirm glass fiber, processing temperature and GWFI target | PA / Nylon |
| ABS | Custom non-halogenated ABS direction | Impact, color and injection molding stability | Custom additive blend | UL94 V-0 / HB | Balance impact, color and injection molding stability | ABS application |
| LSZH Cable Compounds | Low-smoke zero-halogen compound direction | Smoke density, cable standard and mechanical balance | Compound additive or masterbatch | IEC 60332 · low smoke zero halogen | Confirm cable standard, smoke density and mechanical needs | LSZH compounds |
Halogen-free and halogenated flame retardants solve different buyer requirements. The right choice depends on regulation, smoke, flame efficiency, cost and end-use market.
You need non-halogenated materials, low-smoke direction, RoHS/REACH support or customer requirements that restrict halogenated flame retardants.
You need high flame retardant efficiency, cost control or legacy formulations where halogenated systems are still accepted by the end market.
A useful recommendation requires more than the words "halogen-free." Resin type, processing temperature, smoke target, flame rating and mechanical performance all affect formulation choice.
As a halogen-free flame retardant additives manufacturer, we support custom formulation, sample testing, low-smoke development, compounded blend supply, quality control and export packaging.

Halogen-free flame retardant additives are non-halogenated systems used to reduce flammability while supporting low-smoke, RoHS, REACH or customer-specific environmental requirements.
Selection depends on base resin, processing temperature, target flame rating, smoke requirement, mechanical performance, color, compliance requirements and cost target.
No. PP, PE, PVC, PC, PC/ABS, PA, ABS and LSZH cable compounds have different processing temperatures, smoke requirements, dispersion needs and mechanical property targets.
Share base resin, processing method, target flame rating, smoke requirement, RoHS or REACH requirement, color, mechanical performance, trial quantity and any certification needs.
Send your resin type, processing method, target flame rating, smoke requirement and compliance needs. We will recommend a suitable halogen-free additive, blend or masterbatch direction for testing.
