1 500 readers of PIN FR smoke toxicity study
Science publication of pinfa study on PIN flame retardant polymer smoke emissions downloaded more than 1 500 times after one year. The paper in ‘Fire & Material’s’, by authors from CREPIM France and pinfa, presents results of tests on 72 formulations of 10 polymers. Results showed no significant increase in smoke density or toxicity with PIN FRs. See pinfa Newsletter n° 149.
