Description
Book SynopsisGlobally, fire retardants are needed to satisfy a multibillion dollar market. Fire retardancy of polymeric materials is an important component of fire safety. Fire retardants either reduce the likelihood of ignition and/or reduce the rate of flame spread and hence, escalation of fire. The need to comply with safety legislations forces industry to use fire retardants in materials in order to save lives. With growing consumer demands and new legislations, the development of new systems is an on-going process, which also involves understanding their mechanisms of action. This book covers the latest developments in fire retardant strategies including: new fire retardant systems (including nanoparticulate fillers, sometimes combined with conventional fire retardants) intumescent formulations and their recent applications in bulk polymers, fibres and textiles test-methods for material flammability material-specific aspects of combustion, smoke and toxicity. Fire retardant strategies covered,
Trade Review"Virtually all of the major players in fire retardancy are represented in this book.""This book is recommended to anyone who has a general interest in understanding fire retardancy or wishes to know what was of recent interst to the world's expert in fire retardancy." * Materials Today *
