PIN FRs enable fire performance, low smoke and fumes, transparency and thermal conductivity for LEDs. Electrolube, a global formulated chemical supplier since 1941 to electronics and industry, has developed innovative thermally conductive flame retardant epoxy resins....
Cicoil low-smoke, zero-halogen FR cables for reliable, weather and UV resistant performance in solar and technical uses. The Cicoil Flexx-Sil jacketed single and multi-core cables are designed for up to 42 KV (DC) and do not require protection in harsh environments...
Review points to PIN FR 3D-pinting materials but suggests more data is needed on fire behaviour of 3D-printed materials. A review of nearly 80 sources summarises fire behaviour of 3D-print polymers and developments of PIN FRs. Poly-lactic acid (PLA), ethylene-vinyl...
Cables with mineral PIN flame retardants showed durable fire performance after prolonged harsh weathering. Simple test cables (copper core plus mono-material sheath) were formulated by Leoni Kabel, using EVA and EVA-LLDPE (ethylene vinyl acetate and linear low density...
R&D trends show performance synergies from combining PIN FRs, and new PIN FR systems for performance HFFR cables. Günter Beyer, Fire and Polymer, presented his view of key new flame retardant research in 2019 and 2020. He summarised three papers (below, Seidi,...
