Coming Soon
Revolutionary new additives for the polymers industry.
About Us
MegaMatter, Inc. is a nationally recognized, award-winning chemical company located in San Luis Obispo, California. We’re developing a new generation of high-performance, non-toxic flame retardants—allowing manufacturers to exceed even the most stringent regulatory, technical, and market requirements.
If you’re a plastic manufacturer with flammability challenges, please contact us today to see if our patent-pending technologies are a good fit for your products.
Products and Services
We offer a wide variety of services, from fire testing to joint-development and supply agreements. As flame retardant experts, we recognize every polymer is unique, with different material properties, processing parameters, cost requirements, and regulatory demands. Collaborative in nature, we work closely with our customers to ensure a smooth transition from lab to production. For samples, questions, or a complimentary consultation, please contact us today to see how we can work together.
Our Technology
Our patent-pending, non-halogenated flame retardant technology actively reduces flame propagation while simultaneously suppressing smoke. The result: some of the lowest flame spread and smoke development numbers in the industry, regardless of material and fire retardant type. For third-party test results, please contact us for more information. Our first patent application is public and can be viewed here.
