Red phosphorus and ATH proved provided fire performance compatible with ABS 3D-Printing. A total load of c. 21% of the PIN FR combination microencapsulated red phosphorus and ATH (aluminium trihydroxide), 2:1 ratio redP:ATP, was compounded into ABS at 185°C – 215°C,...
A phosphoric acid and urea-based PIN compound provided an effective PIN FR for the cellulose-derived fibre lyocell. Lyocell is a lightweight, soft, wrinkle-resistant fibre produced by processing cellulose fibres from wood or bamboo, but it is highly flammable. A novel...
A silicone elastomer with modified ATH provides fire safety for furniture and retains aesthetic and mechanical performance. The backcoating was prepared by mixing 35% silicone elastomer base (Dow) and Pt-catalyst (for cross-linking) with 65% vinyl-silane modified ATH...
Caseins are natural phosphorus-rich proteins, making up around 80% of milk protein. Casein was hydrolysed using acid, to give free amino groups, then reacted with phosphonic acid, formaldehyde and urea, to give a phosphorus – nitrogen bio-based PIN FR. Cotton fabric...
Coffee wastes showed some fire performance effect in epoxy, and better effect if loaded with phosphorus. Coffee wastes are proposed as the base for renewable PIN flame retardants as they contain in particular lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. Used ground coffee,...
