Phosphorus is a “vital” and “effective” fire safety element. Its delivery in polymers enables “non-intrusive” flame retardants, meaning compatible with performance materials, recyclable, eco-friendly and potentially bio-based. 25 pages are devoted to chemical diagrams...
Summary of research into integration of PIN (phosphorus, inorganic, nitrogen) fire resistance into polymers. This paper reviews studies reacting PIN compounds into different polymers including polyurethanes, polyamides, polyimides, polyesters, PET (polyethylene...
Engineering of flame retardants at the nano-scale improves effectiveness and can provide new fire safety mechanisms. This review of nearly 130 publications presents nano-engineering of different types of flame retardant. Only PIN FRs are considered. The review...
28th August 13h EST (19h CEST Paris). pinfa-NA experts will talk about flame retardant innovation and implementation in composites at CAMX lead-up webinar (free): Roger Avakian (Avakian Polychem Consulting), Jean-Pascal Schroeder (Scott Bader) and Maggie Baumann...
Timm Locke, Marketing Director, Western Wood Preservers Institute, Wed. 25 September, 11:30 EDT (17h30 CEST). Wood is a remarkable and sustainable construction material, with increasing demand. But it is flammable and releases toxic smoke in fire. A range of PIN FR...
