Plant engineering and construction company, Uhde Inventa-Fischer, has won a turnkey contract to build a commercial-scale plant for production of Nofia, an inherently flame retarding polymer (polyphosphonate – PPhos) used as a blend component to impart flame retardancy to other host plastics, for the Belgian subsidiary of US-based FRX Polymers, Inc.. The plant will be located in Antwerp, Belgium, and will use the FRX Polymers, Inc. proprietary, patented polycondensation process.
The polymer is said to be halogen-free, transparent and inherently flame-resistant, making it suited for use in the building, transportation as well as in the electronic and electrical industries.
