PPM Triazines: Lightweight organo-polymeric universal fire and flame retardant synergists

摘要

Plastics are being increasingly used in the transportation industry as lightweight materials, in building and construction, and as insulating and construction materials in the electronics including cable. Plastics, however, are basically solid fuels susceptible to fire hazard and, therefore, need to be made fire resistant required for safety reasons of many of their applications. The fundamental challenge on one hand is the required high loading of fire and flame retardants, many times exceeding even the weight of the polymers themselves by far, and on the other hand the controversy about the potential hazard of certain types of materials, such as halogenic and many inorganic synergists such as antimony trioxide. It is intended to present a novel proprietary fire retardant technology to alleviate the said deficiencies associated with the use of the state-of-the-art fire and flame retardants. It is also intended to propose novel pathways and mechanisms of fire retardancy for future research.
