Flame retardants, polymer co-stabilizer REOFOSTM EMPARATM
What are REOFOSTM and EMPARATM?
The quality required of flame retardants and the regulations surrounding them are becoming increasingly stringent every year.
In addition to making flame retardants less flammable, there is a growing need for safer, more environmentally friendly flame retardants in all fields. This includes household goods, construction materials, vehicle interiors and parts, electric wires, electronics parts, and industrial sheets.
Ajinomoto Fine-Techno markets a wide range of products, including REOFOSTM, a phosphate ester flame retardant plasticizer, and EMPARATM, a chlorinated paraffin flame retardant.

Here is the product that resolves these issues. Flame retardant REOFOSTM EMPARATM
Application
Flame retardant for various plastics and rubber
Additives for metal cutting and grinding fluids
Additives to lubricants
Benefits of introduction
As a flame retardant material, it has a superior affinity with plastics and rubber.
It improves the extreme pressure of the oil, and can be used as a metal cutting and grinding fluid and lubricant additive.
Feature
Phosphate esters
We provide various phosphate ester flame retardants such as REOFOSTM and flame-retardant hydraulic oil REOLUBE.

Chlorinated paraffin, chlorinated fatty acid ester
We are the first company in Japan to have commercialized chlorinated paraffin. It is used as a flame retardant in the same applications as REOFOSTM products.
Because of its good electrical insulation properties, it is blended into wire coating as a plasticizer.
It is also used as a lubricant additive.
We also offer a lineup of chlorinated fatty acid esters.

About EMPARATM
EMPARATM is a registered trademark and the brand name of chlorinated paraffin sold by our company.
We were the first company in Japan to have commercialized chlorinated paraffin.
There are two types of EMPARATM – one is made from paraffin wax, and the other from normal paraffin.
Also, many varieties can be obtained depending on the degree of chlorination.
As flame retardants, they are used in the same applications as phosphate esters.
Because of its good electrical insulation properties, it is blended into wire coating as a plasticizer. It is also used as a lubricant additive.
Examples and Applications
EMPARATM is used in wire coating materials because of its excellent electrical insulation properties.
