What is Flamaway Group?

Flamaway Group is a supplier of flame retardant (FR) chemistry and related textile auxiliaries, positioned between raw chemical producers and manufacturers that need a finished, production-ready formulation. Its stated range runs "from pure chemicals and intermediates until ready-to-use formulations," so it suits two different buyers: those who formulate in-house and want raw FR chemicals, and those who want to buy a compound or impregnation they can apply directly. It is not a consumer brand — the customers are mills, coaters, compounders and converters.

What the company supplies

The product range covers several stages of processing rather than a single product line:

• Chemicals and intermediates — flame retardants and other additives usable in coatings, impregnations and masterbatches.
• Water-based slurries — liquid delivery forms that avoid the dust problems of handling powders.
• Powders — FR powders, titanium dioxide (TiO2), carbon black and mineral fillers.
• Ready-to-use compounds and impregnations — FR compounds and impregnations including foam coatings, padding, paste coatings and scatter powders.
• Laminates and barriers — positioned as a way to replace wet coating equipment, with low energy use and suitability for small quantities.

Alongside FR products, the company supplies water and oil repellents, and distributes Ultra-Fresh antimicrobials in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Brands

The portfolio is organised under registered trademarks. The two main ones are:

A longer list of auxiliary brands sits behind these — including Addisoil, Addicryl, Addisoft, Addefoam, Addicolor, Addiprint, Addisurf, Addilink, Addithik, Addiwet, Addiperl, Addispers, Addifun, Texfin, Texsoft, Texcoat, Texzyme, Scourtex and Texassist — which indicates the company also sells the wet-processing chemistry around the FR treatment, not just the FR agent itself.

Industries served

The site lists these main industries:

• Interior textile and flooring materials
• Nonwovens
• Technical textile and filtration
• Paper and wood
• Automotive textile
• Personal protection clothing and material
• Building and industry
• Public transportation
• Insulation
• Home decoration, construction and outdoor, transportation, digital printing, apparel

The common thread is substrates that must pass flammability requirements — furnishings, transport interiors, protective wear and construction materials.

Facilities, support and documentation

Flamaway Group operates through several sites, each combining production with commercial and technical functions:

• CTF2000 — headquarters and main production site, with an FR knowledge centre, sales and technical support, and laboratory services.
• Texchem — production site with sales and technical support, laboratory services and a repellency knowledge centre.
• Flamaway China — sales and technical support, an Asia purchasing centre and laboratory services.
• CTF2000 GMBH — sales and technical support.

For evaluation purposes, the practical entry points are the downloadable technical and safety data sheets, and three catalogues: a red catalogue (ready-to-use formulations), a blue catalogue (raw materials) and a green catalogue (standard applications). If you are deciding whether to buy a raw chemical or a finished formulation, the red and blue catalogues map directly onto that choice.

When Flamaway Group is a fit

Consider it if you need FR chemistry for textiles, nonwovens, coatings or laminates and want a supplier that can serve either end of the chain — raw materials for your own formulation, or a ready-to-use compound where you lack wet coating equipment or need small volumes. It is also relevant if you need repellency or antimicrobial additives alongside the FR treatment, since those sit in the same portfolio.

It is likely not the right starting point if you need a finished consumer product, or if your requirement is outside the listed substrate types. Because pricing, minimum order quantities and delivery terms are not published on the site, confirm those directly, and request the relevant data sheets and catalogue before committing to a formulation route.
