Since the polyolefins can usually accept high loadings of solid additives, aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide have found use. At lower loadings, vapor-phase-active flame retardants of the halogen-antimony oxide type have proved useful; older chlorinated types are still in use, and both old and new bromine compounds are widely employed in polyolefins. Much effort has been expended on intumescent phosphorus-based additives and there are some newer ones which show promise.

Both halogenated and non-halogenated products have been developed for this application; at present a halogen-phosphorus combination is finding some acceptance, but halogen-free phosphorus compounds are in serious development.
