PLA | Flame Retardants - LANXESS
Flame Retardants LANXESS offers one of the world’s most comprehensive flame retardant portfolio, supported by a global network of sales and technical support. Our products include bromine-, phosphorus-, and antimony-based flame retardants, other synergists and smoke suppressants, and as a leading producer we maintain an aggressive commitment to technological innovation and product development.
Plasticizers: Types, Uses, Classification, Selection & Regulation
It is almost colorless and odorless oily liquid. It is very slightly soluble in water but soluble in alcohols, hexane etc. while miscible and compatible with all the monomeric plasticizers used in PVC compounding. Melting point: 43°C (45°F; 230 K) Boiling point: 244-252°C at 0.7 kPa.
Exposure to Organophosphate esters and metabolic syndrome in adults
PMID: 32679393 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2025.105941 Abstract Background: Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are increasingly used as flame retardants and plasticizers in various products. In vivo and in vitro studies suggest that OPEs can affect metabolic health but the human evidence is lacking.
Organophosphate Ester Flame Retardants and Plasticizers in the Global
PFRs also used as plasticizers and include halogenated and nonhalogenated compounds. 2 The annual global consumption of PFRs, including OPEs, reached 300000 tonnes in 2011, 3
- Is phosflex 71B a flame retardant plasticizer?
- It is an effective flame retardant plasticizer with good compatibility in PVC and other plastics such as modified PPO and PC/ABS alloys. When formulated with conventional plasticizers, Phosflex®71B yields cost-effective systems balanced for flame retardancy and plasticizer efficiency.
- What are high performance plastics?
- Some high performance plastics can be classified as flame resistant plastic, flame retardant plastic, non flammable plastic or inherently self extinguishing, making them suitable for use where fire protection is an issue.
- Are plastics flammable?
- But while most plastics will continue to burn once the flame is removed, self extinguishing plastics will cease to burn in the absence of flame. There are various standards which classify the flammability of plastics. Normally, the internationally accepted flammability test for plastics described in UL94 is performed.
- How to classify flame resistant plastics According to UL94?
- Classification of flame resistant plastics according to UL94 follows these criteria: The specimen (a rectangular plastic strip of defined size) is held in horizontal position and is exposed for 30 seconds to direct flame on one end. Then the flame is removed and the material must burn slower than a defined burning speed to be classified as HB.
- What are flammability tests for heat-resistant plastics?
- There are also industry-specific flammability tests which define the combustion behavior, flue gas toxicity and other flammability properties of heat-resistant plastics. These special flammability tests are designed to minimise the risks of causing and spreading of fires.
