We are excited about our new affiliation with Pinfa-NA (Phosphorus, Inorganic and Nitrogen Flame Retardants Association-North America).  One of the primary focuses of our partnership is to advance environmentally friendly, non-halogenated flame retardant solutions in North America.

“We are looking forward to our relationship with Pinfa-NA and promoting together in North America and worldwide the use of non-halogen flame retardants and smoke suppressants,” says Don Mills, Sales Director of Huber’s Industrial Minerals business.  “We have for over a quarter century been a supplier of non-halogenated products believing them to be the standard for responsible industry solutions.  As we evolve globally seeking ‘greener’ solutions for sustainability and improving safety for people and the environment, there’s no question these products will be key to the future of the fire retardant additive industry.”
