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...
Texas A&M scientists propose phosphorus-based one-dip UV cured fire protective coatings for wood and other materials. The new coating presented at the ACS (American Chemical Society) conference uses an aqueous solution of hydroxyethyl methacrylate phosphate (HMP)...
pinfa member FRX Polymers’ polymeric phosphorus PIN FR GreenScreen 3 Benchmark recognises safety and non-toxicity. GreenScreen is a leading ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance criteria), referenced by mainstream labelling organisations, for example the TCO...
Laird (Dupont group) offers non-halogenated flame retardant EMI (electromagnetic interference) gaskets. With roots back to 1824, and after acquisitions including Emerson & Cuming, BMI, Steward, and Thermagon, Laird Performance Materials is today part of Dupont and...
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...
