A new era of fire protection technology, NORFLAM® is the only bio-based flame retardant technology for wood-based construction materials with a proven record of high performance.
The pH-neutral, water-borne, bio-based, non-dangerous and low-VOC flame retardant technology has been developed in Finland.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION SYSTEMS AND LABELS
More than 95 % of the raw materials used in NORFLAM® flame retardants are non-fossil and more than 40 % of the raw materials are bio-based. Contributing to a low carbon footprint (2,7 kg CO2e per litre) when used in building construction, NORFLAM® solutions carry e.g. LEED certifications. The solutions also carry the M1 and A+ emission ratings, among other classifications and certifications.
Note: Certifications apply to individual products. Check with Nordtreat's customer service to obtain more detailed information on individual product certifications and approvals.
EUROCLASS B, C AND D REACTION TO FIRE PERFORMANCE

NORFLAM® technology based flame retardant solutions provide typically required reaction to fire performance for the commonly used wood-based products.
The highest reaction to fire performance for wood with the NORFLAM® technology is Euroclass B-s1, d0 (EN13501-1). In addition a range of NORFLAM® based solutions are available, meeting commonly specified Euroclass standards C-s1, d0 and D-s1, d0.

FOR MORE SUSTAINABLE AND SAFE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
![Arctia3-1920px](https://www.nordtreat.com/hubfs/Norflam-technology-page/Arctia3-1920px.jpg)
The use of bio-based NORFLAM® flame retardants enhances the safe use of wood in building construction.
Combining reliable fire protection, visual options and various performance characteristics in a bio-based product contributes to the sustainability of the building – but it also helps save building costs and improve working safety.
