Background
ICL Group, a global leader in bromine- and phosphorous-based flame retardants, is seeking novel flame retardants for various applications including electronics, vehicles, textiles, and paints and coatings. They are particularly interested in halogen- and PFAS-free FR polymer materials and replacements for antimony trioxide as a synergist to brominated FRs.
Approaches of interest:
- Phosphorous-containing FRs
- Inorganic FRs
- Nitrogen-containing FRs
- Hybrid system FRs
- Nanodimensional FRs
- Bio-based FRs
Out of scope:
- Metal oxide FRs
The company is interested in opportunities from TRL 3 (proof of concept) onwards, with priority given to those validated in industry standard tests (e.g. UL 94, LOI). Collaboration opportunities include licensing, investment, and research collaborations, with potential funding of $100,000 for up to one year to develop a proof of concept.
