Innovative PIN flame retardant compound from bio-based PLA offers performance to replace ABS with UL 94 V2 (3mm). Floreon is a specialist innovation company, set up in 2011 who, with Sheffield University UK, develop plant-based plastics using specific compounds from...
APP with aluminium phosphate provided fire performance compatible with PA6 3-D printing. 20% APP (ammonium polyphosphate) and 10% aluminium phosphate (AlPO4) was compounded/extruded at 235°C into polyamide-6 for 3D-printing filaments (FFF additive manufacturing: Fused...
Red phosphorus and ATH proved provided fire performance compatible with ABS 3D-Printing. A total load of c. 21% of the PIN FR combination microencapsulated red phosphorus and ATH (aluminium trihydroxide), 2:1 ratio redP:ATP, was compounded into ABS at 185°C – 215°C,...
A phosphoric acid and urea-based PIN compound provided an effective PIN FR for the cellulose-derived fibre lyocell. Lyocell is a lightweight, soft, wrinkle-resistant fibre produced by processing cellulose fibres from wood or bamboo, but it is highly flammable. A novel...
A silicone elastomer with modified ATH provides fire safety for furniture and retains aesthetic and mechanical performance. The backcoating was prepared by mixing 35% silicone elastomer base (Dow) and Pt-catalyst (for cross-linking) with 65% vinyl-silane modified ATH...
