A review of sustainable and environment-friendly flame
Sustainable flame retardants are required for fire treatments of plastics. Synthesis and incorporation methods of FR's in plastics affect the performance. Reduction of ignition time by flame retardant is due to rapid volatilisation. Leaching is higher in finer plastic particles than larger ones. Keywords Sustainability Flame retardants
Bioinspired Adenosine Triphosphate as an “All-In-One” Green
The development of eco-friendly flame retardants is crucial due to the hazardous properties of most conventional flame retardants. Herein, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is reported to be a highly efficient “all-in-one” green flame retardant as it consists of three essential groups, which lead to the formation of char with extreme intumescence, namely, three phosphate groups, providing an
Novel sustainable biobased flame retardant from
Fire retardants (FR) are an important class of additives for many engineering plastics, to develop fire resistance plastics that can be used for electronic and automotive applications, which meet
Eco-friendly functional two-component flame-retardant
Green functional two-component flame-retardant waterborne polyurethane (2K-FWPU) coatings possess outstanding green traits, such as providing eco-friendly protection, having low toxicity, and generating no pollution. Based on various synthesis designs, such as the use of different flame-retardants and compos
A review of sustainable and environment-friendly flame
This has necessitated the incorporation of flame retardants (FRs) in plastics. Nevertheless, not all FRs are environmentally safe, hence, there is an urgent need for the development of...
- Are flame retardants necessary for fire treatment of plastics?
- Sustainable flame retardants are required for fire treatments of plastics. Synthesis and incorporation methods of FR's in plastics affect the performance. Reduction of ignition time by flame retardant is due to rapid volatilisation. Leaching is higher in finer plastic particles than larger ones.
- Are biobased flame retardant additives sustainable?
- Incorporation of FRs in plastics The scientific community is concentrating more on the development of biobased flame retardant additives due to the toxicity and the negative impact of petroleum-based additives on the environment. As compared to synthetic additives, biobased FRs show a more renewable and sustainable nature .
- Do plastics have flame retardants?
- However, plastics have a major flaw: their low fire performance characterised by shorter ignition times and higher heat release rates. This has necessitated the incorporation of flame retardants (FRs) in plastics.
- Are flame retardants eco-friendly?
- One option to address this issue is to develop eco-friendly multifunctional flame retardants that participate in the material lifecycles of preparation, safe service, waste management, and sustainable recycling.
- Are biomolecules green flame retardants?
- Especially, biomolecules have recently attracted significant attention as green flame retardants (FRs) owing to their low environmental and general toxicological impacts and rapidly decreasing cost.
- What are flame retardant materials?
- In general, flame-retardant materials will inhibit or even suppress the combustion process. The most commonly used flame retardants are based on ammonium, alkaline-earth metallic compounds, boron, graphite, halogen, nitrogen (N)-containing compounds, phosphorus (P), silicate or mixtures thereof.
