| FlameQuest 96 S dispersion | 96 S is a concentrated water based dispersion of insoluble FR mixture with a 20-micron particle size, suitable for many surface treatments and addition to paper pulp |
| FlameQuest 99 WL dispersion | A concentrated dispersion in a waterless media for urethane, coatings, plastics, and other applications where a water based system is unacceptable. |
| FlameQuest KK | KK is a highly effective, semi-durable organic phosphate chemistry designed for textile fabrics made of cotton, rayon, cotton polyester blends, or paper. KK is non-toxic, non-hygroscopic, non-halogenated, and will not cause color change to textile fabrics. KK also has the side benefit of offering rust inhibition properties. |
| FlameQuest 102-52-A | 102-52-A is a modified version of FlameQuest KK designed to be compatible with PVA and vinyl acrylic monomer where such binding systems are used. 102-52-A has the same general properties as FlameQuest KK, but will achieve superior results in some binders. |
| FlameQuest 1908 | 1908 is an exhaustible treatment for wool and wool / nylon blends used in such applications as aircraft upholstery, carpeting, and home furnishings. The treatment is durable to multiple non-ionic, and non-alkaline detergent washings. |
| FlameQuest BTO-2 | BTO-2 is a surface treatment flame retardant based organo phosphates combined with complex halogen components. Indicated for use in multi-blend textile fabrics that must pass stringent FR test methods with high ratings. |
| FlameQuest 1896 | 1896 is an aqueous dispersion of decabromodiphenyl oxide and antimony trioxide. The time proven properties of this powerful combination have made it an industry standard. 1896 is compatible with most resin, binders, and latex systems. 1896 can be applied by padding, foam application, or sprays. Indicated only where its use is allowed outside the State of California. |
| FlameQuest 66 | 66 is a durable flame retardant for polyester draperies, automotive fabrics, and upholstery that offers high compatibility with latex back coatings. FlameQuest 66 is a highly formulated proprietary blend of flame retardants. |
