Yes, it was Huntsman’s merger with Clariant (also mentioned in White Horse’s post on Monday and Parsifal’s post yesterday) that prompted my research. I was interested to know what competitor FR or PCM products the merged unit might hold and I was particularly interested in FR for cotton textiles, as Alexium anticipates licensing this product to “three global chemical suppliers” some time this year.
What I found was that Clariant did have a competitor product to Alexiflam NF, (Pekoflam ECO/SYN), but that now belongs to Archcroma. So it seems that the merged unit’s only cotton textile FR is Pyrovatex CP, which has formaldehyde emissions.
