GULEC announces the upcoming launch of GERPHOS® 430 NEO, a TPP-free flame retardant alternative designed for regulatory peace of mind.

As regulatory pressure mounts around Triphenylphosphat (TPP) — now classified as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) under REACH — manufacturers across the polymer industry are searching for safer, compliant solutions. GULEC’s response: GERPHOS® 430 NEO (G430N), a halogen-free, drop-in flame retardant with TPP content typically below 0.1%, making it ideal for companies seeking to avoid SVHC labeling and reporting obligations.

"GERPHOS® 430 NEO (G430N), a halogen-free, drop-in flame retardant with TPP content typically below 0.1%."

Set to launch commercially in January 2026, with samples available from September 2025, GERPHOS® 430 NEO retains the proven technical performance of the widely used GERPHOS® 430 — without the regulatory downsides. It’s especially suited for PVC-based applications such as flexible foams, films, cables, and coatings.

GERPHOS® 430 NEO is not a forced replacement, but a ready option — empowering manufacturers to future-proof their formulations with minimal disruption.
