Clariant announced that Exolit® flame retardants have received EU recognition, underscoring the ecological, toxicological and performance benefits of non-halogenated flame retardants. MCA Technologies GmbH continues to develop novel technologies to support the cost-efficient implementation of such non-halogenated flame retardants in a broad range of applications. Halogen-free MCA PPM Triazines are important synergists of such fire retardants to enhance their performance and improve overall economics of their use.

We are pleased to announce that MCA Technologies GmBH has established a

New joint-venture in China for MCA Technologies' proprietary fire retardants (PPM Triazines)

MCA Technologies GmbH has entered into a second joint-venture agreement with Nantong Haidi Chemicals Co., Ltd., located in Jiangsu Provence near Shanghai, P.R. China. The agreement provides for the production and joint marketing of the proprietary fire retardants (PPM Triazines) of MCA Technologies GmbH, for which the patent has just been granted in the USA and is under examination in the Peoples Republic of China.

MCA PPM Triazines are currently produced in the joint-venture company of MCA Technologies GmbH in India. However, the anticipated increased demand of halogen-free fire retardants, and particularly the exceptional performance characteristics of PPM Triazines have made the additional capacity a necessity.
