GF Piping Systems non-halogen pipe jacket solution for fire-protection of lightweight, corrosion-free maritime applications. The HEAT-FIT pipe jacket system uses non-halogenated, intumescent flame retardants to achieve strict IMO (International Marine Organisation)...
Silylamine and siloxyamine compounds showed flame retardancy in PP, PE and epoxy and synergy with P FR. Seventeen different N-Si and N-O-Si were synthesised, based on phthalimide (reacted to silyphthalimides or siloxyphthalimides) or on pyromelletic diimides. These...
Metal complexes with endothermic properties (phase transition, cold crystallisation) could provide new FR solutions. This theory mini-review considers how certain metal complexes, which modify at lower temperatures than necessary for polymer ignition and absorb heat...
Published draft criteria for green finance for electrical and electronic equipment exclude halogens in all components. The draft Commission decision (Delegated Regulation modifying 2020/852) published for public consultation to 3rd May 2023 specifies conditions under...
On the 15th of March 2023, ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) published their Regulatory Strategy on Flame Retardants (FRs) as part of the European Restrictions Roadmap under the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability. ECHA identifies that several phosphorus, inorganic...
