Lake Technical Specialities launches Valysis® Flame Retardant Systems at Surfex 2026
At Surfex 2026, Valysis® will introduce its latest flame retardant (FR) systems, marking an important step in expanding its performance materials portfolio.
Valysis® FR Systems moves beyond compliance-led selection towards solutions that balance performance, processability and long-term reliability, meeting evolving fire performance and regulatory demands.
Flame retardant requirements are becoming increasingly complex. Across coatings, construction materials and polymer systems, manufacturers are under pressure to achieve reliable fire protection, consistency across production scales, regulatory alignment and minimal impact on material performance.
Valysis® FR Systems have been developed specifically with these challenges in mind, supporting customers in achieving safety, performance and efficiency. Built on validated raw materials, global manufacturing expertise and regulatory support, the portfolio is designed not only to deliver technical performance but also to provide confidence and continuity in supply.
With a trusted global sourcing network developed through established international supplier partnerships, Valysis® combines technical expertise, innovation and deep market understanding to help de-risk supply chains, offering customers greater security and peace of mind in an increasingly complex global environment.
An application-led approach to flame retardant systems
The introduction of FR systems at Surfex builds on Valysis® wider approach to Epoxy Systems and performance materials, combining technical understanding and market insight to deliver practical solutions.
Valysis® supports customers with selection, integration, scale-up and optimisation, ensuring flame retardancy is considered as part of overall system performance.
Supporting coatings and material innovation
The new Valysis® FR systems are relevant for protective coatings, construction materials, electronics and polymer systems where fire performance and durability are critical.
“The launch of Valysis® FR systems at Surfex is about responding to what our customers are dealing with day to day – meeting increasingly stringent fire performance requirements without compromising formulation integrity. Our focus is on combining the right chemistry with the right level of technical and commercial insight to make those decisions easier and more reliable.” - Nikki Cosgrove, Division Manager
Looking ahead
The launch of Valysis® FR systems is part of Valysis® development as a performance materials partner, supporting customers across epoxy, coatings and advanced material applications.
