Clariant and Fuhua join forces to develop and produce non-halogenated flame retardants.

This new initiative, which is subject to customary approval from relevant authorities, aims to create next-generation phosphorus-based flame retardants to serve industries including building and construction, automotive, electric and electronic, directly addressing the tightening technical and regulatory environment in these sectors.

The new development initiative comes as regulatory bodies worldwide are implementing stricter controls on traditional flame retardant technologies. Clariant's proactive approach enables the company to anticipate these changes and develop compliant alternatives before customers face regulatory challenges, reinforcing the company's reputation for forward-thinking innovation in specialty chemicals.

This latest investment builds upon Clariant's established presence in China, following the CHF 100 million investment in its Daya Bay facility in China with a second production line for Exolit OP flame retardants. The company also expanded its capabilities with a second production line for Nylostab S-EED stabilizer in Cangzhou, China
