Phosphorus FR radical FR mechanism

Phosphorus FR radical FR mechanism

PO. radical formation is analysed for phosphorus PIN flame retardants on cotton, to understand gas phase fire protection. Formation of PO. radicals from Triethyl phosphate (TEP), Tris-phosphoramidate (TD) and Diethyl phosphoramidate (DEPAm), both neat and on cotton,...
EU R&D projects target PIN FRs

EU R&D projects target PIN FRs

A number of EU-funded R&D projects underway are looking at PIN flame retardant developments and solutions. Biosafire looks at functionalising lignin and tannin to develop industrially applicable biobased PIN flame retardants, targeting naval, rail, household goods...
3D-printing and low-smoke PIN FR projects

3D-printing and low-smoke PIN FR projects

DTNW will develop acrylate-based PIN FRs for 3D-printing and improved PIN smoke suppression for natural fibres. Today, 50% or more of German manufacturing companies use 3D printing. Stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) are 3D printing...
