Rubber materials are widely used in modern industry and life, from car tires and seals to cable sheathing and household equipment. However, the flammability of rubber is also an important safety issue, especially in areas such as electrical equipment and building materials. To ensure safety in use, the flame retardancy of rubber materials often needs to be rigorously evaluated and graded. In this paper, we will introduce in detail the classification, testing standards, influencing factors of rubber flame retardant grade and its importance in practical applications.
Discover the flame retardant innovation of ethylene propylene diene diene (EPDM) rubber: from traditional to environmentally friendly, unveiling how to transform the flammable material into a safe and efficient halogen-free flame retardant rubber, opening up a new chapter in the rubber industry.
While exploring the manufacturing mysteries of rubber products, we must not neglect the enhancement of their safety performance, especially through the scientific application of flame retardants, which paves the way for the innovation and progress of the rubber process.
This paper discusses the application of intumescent flame retardants (IFRs) in the rubber industry, especially the latest research progress on nitrogen-phosphorus synergistic IFRs.IFRs slow down flame spread by forming a stabilized charcoal layer at high temperatures, which improves the flame retardancy of rubbers and reduces the release of toxic gases. Compared with traditional halogenated flame retardants, IFR offers significant environmental advantages and cost-effectiveness. With technological progress and growing market demand, IFR has a promising application in the rubber industry, opening up a new path for the safety performance and sustainable development of rubber products.
With the continuous progress of technology and the growth of market demand, halogen-free flame retardant rubber has gradually occupied an important position in the materials market.
By selecting flame retardants with high thermal stability, optimizing processing parameters and adopting new processing technologies, manufacturers can effectively address processing temperature limitations. It helps to improve the performance and quality of flame-retardant rubber products and meet market demand and regulatory requirements.
