Alexium is having success with Alexiflam SYN-FILL™, the company's proprietary FR solution for plastics, resins and composites; uses include electronics, building, construction, coatings, and molded injunction.

The company currently has clients world-wide for the Alexiflam family of chemical solutions in a number of sectors including bedding/decorative fabrics, military and workwear, automotive and transportation, and outdoor fabrics.

"Alexium is exploiting a tremendous advantage in the market; we have an extensive product line of proprietary solutions and serve a variety of sectors through our global sales/distribution network," said Nicholas Clark, Alexium CEO. "We remain on track for our mid-year and year-end goals."
