The EU has published a proposal to Restrict some 10 000 polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including PTFE. This was announced with the EU Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability in 2020. The proposal specifies per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) proposed for...
Burnblock’s PIN flame / fire retardant has been certified EN16516 with no detectable VOC emissions after 28 days. All (100%) of the different chemical substances constituting the Burnblock® ingredient are natural, the Burnblock® ingredients are 100% biodegradable and...
Fire performance synergies are shown between phosphorus PIN flame retardant and different PIN mineral additives. The well-recognised PIN phosphorus flame retardant DEPAL (aluminium diethyl phosphinate) was tested in injection molded polyamide 6 alone (15%) or with...
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...
