Oyster shell powder reacted with ammonium polyphosphate reduced heat and smoke release of epoxy resin 70 – 80 %. Oyster shell powder (300 mesh) was ball milled with NaClO (0.3% w/w to oyster shell) for several hours, then added to APP (ammonium polyphosphate 2500...
Plywood with phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardants showed very low toxic fire gases and achieved IMO fire performance. The plywood was vacuum impregnated with water soluble PIN FR consisting mainly of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) (pinfa comment: probably short-chain to...
Less than 10% PIN FR loading, plus a chain extender, enabled production of quality PET foam from post-consumer bottles. Aluminium-tris-(diethylphosphinate) 8% with montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay 1% were used as PIN flame retardant and a multi-functional epoxy-based...
Eight organophosphate esthers (OPEs), used as plasticisers and/or flame retardants, were tested in 393 food product samples in the UK: TCEP, TCIPP, TDCIPP, TBOEP, TnBP, TPHP, EHDPP, TMPP. The highest detected total OPE was below 20 µg/kg wet weight in milk products...
The National Week of Flame Retardants, organised online by SPE (Society of Plastics Engineers) and pinfa-NA attracted over one hundred participants for five online sessions 22nd – 26th August. The Week was opened by Carolyn Pressley (Budenheim), pinfa-NA Chair, and...
