This article explores the incorporation of flame retardants as additives in plastic technology, focusing on the mechanisms of polymer combustion, the main modes of action of flame retardant materials, and commonly used flammability tests. It highlights the importance of cooling, char formation, dilution of flammable gases, and interruption of free radical chain reactions in enhancing polymer fire resistance. With challenges in optimizing flame retardant performance while maintaining material properties and environmental safety, innovations in flame retardant technology are pivotal. Keywords: flame retardants, polymer combustion, cooling, protective char, dilution, free radical chain reaction, flammability tests, plastic technology, fire safety.
FRP-750A in PP materials for automotive applications effectively balanced enhanced flame retardancy with the necessary impact resistance and environmental compliance, demonstrating its suitability for critical automotive components.
When fire occurs, halogen-containing flame retardant materials will produce a large amount of smoke and toxic corrosive hydrogen halide gases during the flame retardant process, resulting in secondary hazards.In February 2003, the European Union promulgated two directives, RoHS and WEEE, the former is about restricting and prohibiting the use of certain toxic and hazardous substances and elements in electrical and electronic equipment, and the latter is a directive on the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
What to pay attention to when flame retardant is used in wire and cable1. Compatibility: The flame retardant used in the wire and cable should be compatible with other materials used in the cable, such as insulation and jacketing materials.2. Performance: The flame retardant should be able to provid
