Monomeric N-alkoxy hindered amine (NOR HAS) which acts as a flame retardant in Polyolefin applications. It shows flame retardancy efficacy in polyolefin fibers, nonwovens and films at concentrations as low as 1%. Flamestab® NOR® 116 shows excellent polymer compatibility and high extraction resistance. It also provides superior light and thermal stability to the polymer and shows low interaction with acidic species deriving from pesticide residues or other halogenated products.
