Review of physical and solvent recycling of automotive plastics underlines complexity of sorting and technical challenges. An average car today in 2019 contained already c. 160 kg of plastics (nearly 9% of its weight), of which around 50% in the car interior, nearly...
Detailed review of technologies, implementation and perspectives for recycling of flame retardant polymers. Based on over 230 references, of which nearly 30 are summarised in a table, this review covers recycling of different polymers with PIN and with halogenated...
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...
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...
pinfa’s Q&A explains implications for melamine-based flame retardants and for use of melamine itself for fire safety. Melamine has been identified as SVHC under REACH and Carc. 2, H351 and STOT RE 2, H373 under CLP. In melamine-based FRs*, melamine is chemically...
