Innospec Leuna offers non-halogenated processing aids which improve processing of ATH and MDH PIN FR compounds. The polar organic additive is used at 1 – 2% to improve wetting and dispersion, and prevent re-agglomeration during processing, of mineral PIN FRs, such as...
Milk-derived casein protein reacted with magnesium hydroxide and showed to be an effective PIN FR coating for timber. The reaction was carried out at 70°C with sodium hydroxide and the resulting compound was then spread on 20 mm scotch pine wood samples and dried at...
Guanidine, a biological molecule, was reacted with ammonium and phosphorus to produce a durable, reactive FR for cotton. Guanidine is found in urine, and can be produced by the degradation of guanine (from DNA/RNA) or synthetically. Guanidine acetic acid was reacted...
Field trials show effectiveness of a fertiliser made by pyrolysis of cellulose fibre insulation containing boron flame retardant. Boron is on the EU Critical Raw Materials list since 2014, with 70% being used in glass and ceramics, 12% in fertilisers (18% other)....
New York State “Family and fire fighter protection act” bans intentionally added “halogenated, organophosphorus, organonitrogen or nanoscale chemical” flame retardants and FR synergists in upholstered furniture, mattresses, (enclosure and stand of) electronic...
