A targeted review of bio-derived plasticizers with flame retardant
For decades, a wide variety of products have benefitted from the use of flexible PVC, ranging from healthcare to cable to packaging & household items. The uniqueness of PVC rises from its growth as polymer from monomers and the final structure. Due to the presence of chlorine atoms, PVC is inherently flame retardant, but it cannot always meet all fire safety requirements and maintain a needed
A simple approach with scale-up potential towards intrinsically flame
Abstract As an imitation of genuine leather, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) artificial materials are versatile, but suffers from being flammable due to the presence of large amounts of combustible plasticizers. Under such circumstance, intrinsically flame-retardant plasticizers displaying dual functions have been a subject of intensive research interest. However, previous strategies attempting to
Synthesis and Application of Phosphorus-containing Flame Retardant
A novel phosphorus-containing flame retardant plasticizer (PFRP) derived from castor oil acid methyl ester (COME) was synthesized to substitute dioctyl phthalate (DOP) for plasticizing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products. The chemical structures of PFRP were confirmed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). Meanwhile, the plasticizing effect
Santicizer Phosphate Ester Flame Retardant Plasticizers
Santicizer Flame Retardant Plasticizers Overview Specialty Plasticizers Offering Fire Retardant and Smoke Suppressing Capabilities When flame and smoke are primary concerns in a flexible polymer application, it’s often the additives that are contributing to the problem.
- What are the emerging trends in the flame retardant plastics market?
- wards fire safety, growing consumption of flame retardant plastics in electrical and electronics market, and increasing demand for halogen free wire and cable market. An emerging trend, which has a direct impact on the dynamics of the flame retardant plastics market by industry, includes increasing demand for non-halogenated polymers.
- Which countries use brominated flame retardants in plastic products?
- Straková, J., Grechko, V., Brosché, S., Karlsson, T., Buonsante, V. Brominated flame retardants in plastic products from China, Indonesia and Russia. International Pollutants Elimination Network (IPEN), .
- Does plastic recycling contaminate children's toys with flame retardants?
- DiGangi, J., et al., POPs recycling contaminates children’s toys with toxic flame retardants. IPEN, 2017. Pivnenko, K., et al., Recycling of plastic waste: Screening for brominated flame retardants (BFRs). Waste Management, 2017. 69: p. 101-109.
- Which products contain brominated flame retardants?
- This study shows that children’s toys, hair accessories, office supplies, and kitchen utensils, available on the Chinese, Indonesian and Russian markets, contained brominated flame retardants (BFRs). None of these countries have regulations limiting BFR content in products or waste.
- Do children's toys contain brominated flame retardants?
- This study shows that children’s toys, hair accessories, office supplies and kitchen utensils, available on the Chinese, Indonesian and Russian markets, contained brominated flame retardants (BFRs). The BFRs were likely originating from unregulated recycling of e-waste plastics.
- What are brominated flame retardants (BFRs)?
- Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are man-made chemicals that are regularly added to consumer products to reduce fire-related injury and damage. The massive production and use of BFRs was initiated as a response to frequent fires started by cigarettes in the 1970s.
