Phytic acid from plants, which contains 28% phosphors w/w, is increasingly tested as the basis for bio-based PIN FRs. The rieview summarises nearly one hundred studies of phytic acid and compounds based on phytic acid as PIN FRs in a range of polymers and applications...
Trials suggest that an aluminium phosphonate and melamine cyanurate provide synergistic fire protection coating for ABS. EMPCP (ethylene glycol methyl propionate cylohexanediol phosphonate) was reacted with aluminium isopropoxide to general an aluminium phosphonate...
PIN flame retardants show varying impacts on fire performance and smoke emissions from rigid polyurethane foam. Seven combinations of P-based, inorganic and nitrogen flame retardants and nano-fillers were tested and compared to pure rigid PU foam: triethylphosphate...
46 phosphorus FRs (11 alkyl, 24 aryl, 11 chlorinated) were experimentally screened for placentation – disrupting effects, by inhibition of proliferation of human trophoblast cells. Three aryl phosphates, of the 46 tested OPFRs, showed disruption potential in the...
The proposed update of EU EcoDesign could have wide impacts on chemicals used in consumer products. EU EcoDesign enables definition of obligatory energy and sustainability criteria for products. The overall Ecodesign Regulation, to replace the existing Ecodesign...
