NeoGraf Solutions Joins Pinfa-NA
May 8, 2025
NeoGraf Solutions, a global leader in graphite materials science, is proud to join pinfa-NA in advancing fire safety through sustainable, environmentally responsible solutions.
Our GrafGuard® expandable graphite offers robust char barriers upon heat exposure that absorb fire energy and displace oxygen to inhibit combustion. This helps manufacturers meet stringent fire safety standards without the environmental and health concerns of halogenated alternatives.
NeoGraf offers a customizable product portfolio, featuring adjustable activation temperatures, controlled expansion rates, and varied particle sizes to address diverse application requirements. GrafGuard® works in combination with other fire-retardant additives, including phosphates, metal hydroxides, and nitrogen compounds, enhancing system performance while reducing total additive loading.
Serving industries like building and construction, transportation, bedding, and electronics, NeoGraf delivers specialized solutions for foams, plastics, coatings, composites, and roofing applications.
By joining pinfa-NA, we hope to share industry expertise, and promote sustainable fire safety solutions that protect both people and the environment.
