PIN FRs for 3D-printing with natural fibres

PIN FRs for 3D-printing with natural fibres

PIN flame retardants were successfully tested in innovative 3D-printing using continuous fibre/polymer yarns. Bio-based yarns (flax fibre, viscose – which is derived from cellulose) were co-extruded with PLA (polylactic acid) then tested in FFF (fused filament...
