Overview of polyurethane fire decomposition, smoke toxicity and potential impacts of PIN FRs on smoke release and toxicity. In-depth review by G. Peck (University of Central Lancashire, UK) summarises fire toxicity and smoke production from polyurethane foams, which...
Combining mineral PIN FRs can improve fire performance and reduce smoke without compromising mechanical performance. Recycled ABS was supplied by the EU CREAToR project which is developing a process to remove brominated flame retardants from and then reuse...
Market studies, for sale online, continue to predict sustained growth in flame retardants worldwide, but numbers vary widely. Most reports suggest electronics, cables, construction, transport (in particular automobile, aerospace) as key growth sectors, with growth...
Syensqo part bio-based long glass fibre PIN FR polyphthalamide for structural, heat, fire and electrical protection of EV batteries. The long fibres create a complex 3D network during injection molding (using standard equipment) ensuring retention of mechanical...
Camira launches non-halogenated flame retardant treatment for wool fabrics for public transport applications. The treatment can achieve the EU railway standard strictest heat, smoke release and smoke toxicity criteria (EN 45545(R21)-HL3) by enhancing wool’s natural...
