Avient has launched HFFR TPEs with post-consumer recycled or bio-biased content for performance cable applications (Halogen Free Flame Retardant Thermo-Plastic Elastomer). The resin compounds have up to 45% bio-based or 30 post-consumer recycled content. They achieve...
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...
Market studies, for sale online, continue to predict sustained growth in flame retardants worldwide, but numbers vary widely. Most reports suggest electronics, cables, construction, transport (in particular automobile, aerospace) as key growth sectors, with growth...
Syensqo part bio-based long glass fibre PIN FR polyphthalamide for structural, heat, fire and electrical protection of EV batteries. The long fibres create a complex 3D network during injection molding (using standard equipment) ensuring retention of mechanical...
