Innovation project combines surface modifications with PIN FRs to improve mechanical performance of composites. The ZIM FlamZation project will develop synergies between PIN surface treatments and fillers to achieve fire safety of composites (combination of polymers and fillers) with high mechanical performance, e.g. for E&E and technical applications. The project is funded by the German government and is carried out by DTNW (Deutsches Textilforschungszentrum Nord-West GmbH) and KIMW (Gemeinnützige Kunststoffinstitut für die Mittelständische Wirtschaft Forschungs-GmbH) with the downstream industrial companies abcr GmbH, ENTEX Rust & Mitschke GmbH, Bada AG and Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG (electronic components, extrusion, special chemicals, testing).
