Buckman  Introduces New Flamebloc Product

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Buckman is pleased to announce the introduction of Flamebloc GS 602, the latest addition to the Flamebloc GS line of bromine-free flame retardants. The Flamebloc GS series has products suitable for a wide range of applications, including plastics, coatings, foam, fabric, and wood. The GS 602 is a powdered product specifically designed to impart char formation in applications where powdered products are desirable.

July also marks Buckmans one year anniversary of the rollout of the Flamebloc GS series. We are very pleased with the interest generated by the Flamebloc GS line in this first year, says Charles Carncross, Vice President Performance Chemicals. With the current regulatory pressure on decabrome and the pricing pressure on  antimony, many industries are looking for bromine and antimony free flame retardant solutions. We are working
closely with affected companies to design customized packages to address their specific needs.
