Halogen free flame retardants (HFFR) under the trademark EXFLARTM and light stabilizers under the trademark EXHALSTM have been developed by Excel Industries. With an R&D strength of more than 30 scientists, they have a dedicated program on polymer input materials to support the growing needs of the polymer industry. k. EXFLAR stands for Flame Retardants from Excel. The current range of products EXFLAR -N are nitrogen based intumescent flame retardant materials, specifically suited for polyamide. We commercially manufacture these materials in two variants, the EXFLAR -N is suitable for compounding applications while the EXFLAR -NF is specifically suited for the masterbatch applications. Available as white powders in 25kg packing. EXHALS is our first UV stabilizer for applications like mulch films, outdoor applications and raffia. A low molecular product, this material is available in flake form or as powders. Available in packing of 25kg and 500 kg, the product can be supplied in commercial quantities. Excel Industries Ltd., a Mumbai (India) based organization established in 1941, has recently been authorized to use the Responsible Care (RC) logo after an exhaustive audit by the Indian Chemical Council, the India designate for RC implementation.
