Mechanical recycling of PET with P FRs

Mechanical recycling of PET with P FRs

Recycling of PET fibres with different phosphorus PIN FRs showed that combinations can achieve excellent stability. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) was mechanically recycled with three reprocessing cycles @ 275 – 305 °C (extrude, quench, melt-spin) neat and with two...
PIN FR 3-D printing for rigid performance

PIN FR 3-D printing for rigid performance

BASF Forward AM non-halogenated FR resin offers high throughput production of rigid technical parts to UL 94 V-0. The photopolymer resin is compatible with a range of 3D printers, offers low viscosity (350 mPa at 30 ºC) and easy to print process. The resin offers high...
Phosphorus FR Life Cycle Assessment

Phosphorus FR Life Cycle Assessment

LCA comparison concludes that DEPAL* (PIN FR) has slightly lower carbon footprint and lower environmental impacts than brominated FR+ATO** in glass-fibre reinforced polyamide 6-6 for electric vehicles and electronics applications, where fire safety is required....
Fire spread in cable tray

Fire spread in cable tray

Tests show faster flame spread in cables when they are pre-heated. Tested HFFR cables performed better than PVC cables. All the cables were IEC 60332-1-2 fire rated and the HFFR (halogen-free flame retardant (PEVA/PE based) cable was additionally IEC 60332-3-23 fire...
Review of FRs for polyurea elastomers

Review of FRs for polyurea elastomers

Polyurea elastomers are widely used in industrial coatings. Review shows development of PIN FRs, especially additive, and expects “a gradual abandonment of the use of halogen compounds”. Polyurea coatings are used for waterproofing in construction, roofings, tank...
