UNEP predicts global increase of extreme wildfires and recommends ecosystem management and asset protection. Uncontrollable wildfires will increase, even in regions previously unaffected, because of climate change, land-use and population change, resulting in...
New 470-page book on fire analysis principles and applications inc. flame retardancy, toxicity, standards and regulations. Addresses techniques for characterisation of fire and flame behaviour and smoke toxicity, laboratory testing techniques, industrial aspects of...
Phosphorus, nitrogen and inorganics used in polyurethane chemical recycling produce PIN flame retardant recycled PUR. Glycolysis is the most widespread route for chemical recycling of polyurethanes (PUR). Glycols or glycerol (which can be bio-derived), with catalysts,...
Denim cotton fabric can be recycled using PIN flame retardants to produce composite boards for fire compartmentation. The world produces some 150 million t/y of textile waste. This review suggests that end-of-life denim cotton fibres treated with PIN flame retardants...
A silicon polyphosphoramide was synthesised and tested as a PIN flame retardant for bio-based polylactide plastic. The commercially available chemicals dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) and 1, 3-Bis(3-aminopropyl) tetramethyl-disloxane (BATDMS) were one-step reacted...
