From September 9 to 12, 2025, Moscow hosted the XII International Conference “Low Flammability Polymer Materials 2025.” This is the largest platform in Russia where scientists, manufacturing companies, and industry representatives discuss the development of flame-retardant polymer materials, combustion mechanisms, and ways to reduce fire risks.
The conference program included plenary sessions, scientific and practical sections, and poster sessions. Participants presented research results on polymer thermal degradation and flammability inhibition, the development of new flame retardants and coatings, as well as case studies of their application in construction, transportation, and the cable industry. Special attention was paid to practical testing and quality assessment of flame-retardant materials.
Alexander Kulichenko, Technical Director of Brucite+, delivered a presentation titled “Statistics of Flame Retardant Consumption in the Cable Industry as an Indicator of PVC Compound Quality.” In his review, he demonstrated that flame retardant consumption dynamics are closely linked to the share of fires caused by cable products. Such analysis makes it possible not only to assess the effectiveness of existing solutions but also to develop new approaches to fire safety.
For Brucite+, participation in the conference was an opportunity for direct knowledge exchange with the scientific community and industry peers, helping to jointly shape the strategy for the development of low-flammability materials. Thus, the Brucite+ presentation became part of a broad professional discussion on the future of flame-retardant materials and their role in improving the safety of cable products and other types of polymer applications.
From geology to innovation,
