Review points to PIN FR 3D-pinting materials but suggests more data is needed on fire behaviour of 3D-printed materials. A review of nearly 80 sources summarises fire behaviour of 3D-print polymers and developments of PIN FRs. Poly-lactic acid (PLA), ethylene-vinyl...
Cables with mineral PIN flame retardants showed durable fire performance after prolonged harsh weathering. Simple test cables (copper core plus mono-material sheath) were formulated by Leoni Kabel, using EVA and EVA-LLDPE (ethylene vinyl acetate and linear low density...
R&D trends show performance synergies from combining PIN FRs, and new PIN FR systems for performance HFFR cables. Günter Beyer, Fire and Polymer, presented his view of key new flame retardant research in 2019 and 2020. He summarised three papers (below, Seidi,...
Research review shows that synergies between PIN FRs in polypropylene can combine fire safety and material performance. Seidi, Vahabi et al. assessed data on fire performance of flame retardant propylene formulations from some 150 publications, considering PIN FRs...
PIN FR solutions with phosphorus, nitrogen organo-clay and nano-silica enables UL94-V0 in epoxy at 30% loading. The authors tested a PIN combination of organically modified sodium montmorillonite (OMMT), amino-functionalised nano silica (nano-silica) and intumescent...
