About Us
Pinfa-NA (Phosphorus, Inorganic and Nitrogen Flame Retardants Association North America) is a non-profit trade organization that brings together and represents manufacturers and users of non-halogenated major flame retardant technologies. These flame retardants (PIN FRs) are halogen-free, sustainable and offer an ideal environmental and health profile.
The members of pinfa share the common concept of an ideal flame retardant as one which:
- is not toxic to humans, animals and plants
- does not migrate out of finished products
- does not release additional toxic or corrosive gases in case of fire
- does not impede the recycling of finished articles
- is either degradable in the environment or remains neutral as naturally occurring substances
Mission
Members of pinfa share the common vision of continuously improving the environmental and health profile of their flame retardant products. This vision is coupled with a commitment to maintain high fire safety standards across the world, standards which minimize the risk of fire to the general public.
