Flame Retardant Selection for Polymers

380-page book presents FR selection for different polymer types, foams, cables, textiles, adhesives and for 3D-printing. The 24 contributing authors are from leading research centres worldwide, from consulting or from fire testing. The book presents basic principles of flame retardants (fire protection, formulation, processing), discusses in detail regulations and testing and FR selection for different polymers (thermoplastics, biopolymers) and applications (foams, cables, textiles, adhesives, additive manufacturing), and specifically addresses trends in China, and developments in regulation, sustainability and circularity.
