Clarinat offers Protection for renewable polymers in oyster shell-reinforced PP

摘要

The all-important fire protection element in the development of commercially viable, flame retarded thermoplastic composites based on renewable oyster shell fillers, is being offered by Clariant. Research led by the Unite Materiaux et Transformations (UMET) at the University of Lille in France has shown that it is possible to achieve effective flame retardancy for oyster shell reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites using Clariant's Exolit~R AP non-halogenated flame retardants.
