Tech/Engineering - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / Injection molding equipment

English term or phrase: FR's

In a form about injection molding equipment, I have a page concerning resin data. There are three write-in fields under the header "Additives %":
- FR's
- Color
- Minerals

What's the "FR's"?

Thanks for your help!
