Insulation panels produced from of end-of-life textiles must be fire safety treated for safe use in buildings. In this study, an insulating panel material made from recycled automotive textiles (seats, ceiling upholstery, foot pads, anti-noise …) with polyurethane...
Phosphorus PIN FR DOPO was coated on PA6 textile achieving vertical burn self-extinguishing and wash semi-durable. DOPO cannot be compounded into polyamide because it is not stable at the polymer extrusion temperature. In this study, PA6 fabric (113 g/m2) was coated...
Industry expert input is invited for new Elsevier book on “Flame Retardant Selection for Polymers”, covering FR selection, formulation and regulations. Chapters cover FR formulation and processing in different types of polymer, applications for specific sectors...
PIN flame retardants were tested to enable fire safety of polypropylene – recycled newspaper fibre composites. Waste fibres can replace glass fibre to provide strength in plastic composites, enabling waste valorisation and also reducing tool wear and processing...
