The chemical that I am familiar with is called Bromine. There are others. It is a powder or liquid and I believe the powder is a light brown or tan. The liquid is a red color. I couldn't even begin to tell you how to mix it with your base resin. I am going to be using Ashland 92 FR for my cowling and cowling duct work. It is a vinyl ester resin that already has this mixed into it. As I live in Fort Worth I can get it from a local wholesaler (Graco Supply). Just a side note, a better description of this stuff would be "self-extinguishing". When you throw fuel on a cured piece and light it the fuel and resin will burn, but when the fuel is done the resin will extinguish itself.
