Effect of Non-halogen Flame Retardants on The Properties of Foaming Materials

Introduction

Foamed materials are widely used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications due to their lightweight, thermal insulation and cushioning properties. However, the flammability of foamed materials has raised significant safety concerns. The development and application of novel flame retardants have become critical to improving the safety of these materials. In this paper, we will discuss the effects of new flame retardants, especially the FRP-950X and RP-TP46 products specially developed by Yinsu for foaming, on the performance of foamed materials.

Common Applications and Flame Retardant Requirements for Foamed Materials

Foamed materials, such as polyurethane foam and polystyrene foam, have a wide range of applications in building insulation, packaging, and automotive interiors. The flame retardant requirements for these materials are stringent, especially in areas with high safety standards, such as building materials, aerospace and public transportation.

Types and properties of new flame retardants

The development of new flame retardants aims to provide more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions. Among them, microcapsule-coated red phosphorus flame retardants have attracted attention for their excellent flame retardant effect and fine particle size with less environmental impact.Yinsu's FRP-950X is a high content microcapsule-coated red phosphorus flame retardant, and RP-TP46 is a paste-coated red phosphorus flame retardant, and both of them are excellent in enhancing the flame retardant performance of foamed materials.

Influence of new halogen-free flame retardants on the performance of foaming materials

New halogen-free flame retardants not only effectively improve the flame retardancy of foaming materials, but also have a certain impact on their other properties. For example, these flame retardants can improve the thermal stability and combustion resistance of the materials, and at the same time may have an impact on the mechanical strength and processing performance of the materials. Therefore, the selection and application of these flame retardants requires a balance between the different properties.

Practical application case studies

In practical applications, FRP-950X and RP-TP46 have been shown to significantly improve the flame retardancy of foamed materials. For example, the addition of these flame retardants to building insulation materials not only improves the flame retardancy rating of the material, but also maintains good insulation properties and physical strength. The foaming process does not affect the degree of foaming of the raw material, and no flocculent deposits are produced during combustion, and there is no dust pollution during production.

Challenges and future trends

Although the new halogen-free flame retardants have achieved significant results in improving the flame retardancy of foamed materials, they still face challenges such as cost, environmental impact and long-term durability in the application process. In the future, Yinsu will continue to focus on the development of more efficient, environmentally friendly, and lower-cost flame retardants to meet the growing needs of the market.
