Airbus and materials scientists say fire resistant composites saved lives of the 349 passengers in Tokyo plane crash. All passengers on the A350 escaped alive after the aircraft hit a small stationary plane on the runway during landing (see pinfa Newsletter n° 156)....
Mobility Dock EV mobile charger by Lapp uses BASF’s high strength, UV resistant PIN flame retardant polyamide. The Mobility Dock provides a compact, ergonomic, transportable solution to charge electric vehicles from standard household sockets. BASF’s polyamide...
Nano-delivered PIN FRs can form nanocomposites for enhanced performance and fire safety in modern materials. This book presents a range of “emerging” nanocomposite FR solutions, including bio-based nano-materials, graphenes, minerals and metal compounds, metal-organic...
Discussion paper welcomes the ECHA FR Strategy grouping approach and proposes additional criteria. The paper, by three environmental scientists, suggests that flame retardant use should target applications where FRs bring significant fire safety benefits and where...
All 379 people on JAL’s Airbus A350 escaped unhurt when it caught fire after crashing into another plane during landing. Reports suggest that the Airbus was landing normally until one wing hit a small Japan coast guard Bombardier Dash-8 which was stationary on the...
