Today, fire protection is more than just a safety measure—it is a central component of sustainable production and packaging concepts. Wherever materials are exposed to sparks, heat, or open flames, the use of flame-retardant protective materials is essential.

Strict fire protection regulations apply, particularly in industrial environments, but also in public buildings. This is where BRANOflame, the innovative flame-retardant paper from BRANOpac, offers an environmentally friendly solution: it provides reliable protection against fire risks while contributing to sustainable value creation.

 

Keyfacts about BRANOflame Flame-Retardant Paper

  • Certified Safety: BRANOflame is flame-retardant according to DIN 4102-1 (B1) and EN 13501-1, ensuring reliable fire protection for industrial and public environments.
  • Antistatic Performance: Electrically conductive material prevents static build-up – ideal for workplaces with sensitive components.
  • Sustainable & Eco-Friendly: Produced without halogenated additives, fully recyclable, biodegradable, and resource-efficient.
  • Versatile Applications: From spray booths to drip zones and stage decorations – BRANOflame is suitable wherever safety and sustainability are required.

BRANOflame: The Innovative Flame-Retardant Paper from BRANOpac

BRANOflame was specifically developed to combine the highest safety standards with ecological responsibility. The paper is certified as flame-retardant and ideally suited for a wide range of applications in industry, commerce, and public facilities. Unlike conventional materials, BRANOflame uses a water-based, environmentally friendly impregnation that is free of halogenated or toxic flame retardants – protecting both people and the environment.

Material Composition and Functional Principle

The base material consists of high-quality cellulose paper coated with a patented layer. This coating prevents ignition or flame propagation in the event of fire. Instead, a protective carbon layer forms that effectively stops the spread of flames. In this way, BRANOflame helps minimize fire risks and protect valuable assets – even under demanding conditions.

Sustainability of BRANOflame Flame-Retardant Paper

Environmental compatibility was a central development goal. BRANOflame is produced without halogenated additives or harmful chemicals, is recyclable and biodegradable. Depending on local regulations, disposal can take place via residual waste or wastepaper recycling – an important advantage for users seeking simple, sustainable processes. Production is resource-efficient and meets BRANOpac’s high environmental standards, enabling companies to achieve their sustainability and safety goals simultaneously.

Technical Properties and Certifications

BRANOflame meets the requirements of DIN 4102-1 (B1 – flame-retardant) and EN 13501-1. These certifications confirm the material’s excellent fire resistance and temperature stability. Furthermore, the paper is electrically conductive and effectively prevents static charges – a major benefit in environments where electrostatic discharge poses a risk.
