Circular economy implementation in the development of fire-retardant materials used in construction, industry, and general-purpose products

During a fire, passive fire protection systems are designed to prevent the spread of flames, smoke, and toxic gases. The new fire-retardant (FR) material, used for protection, is created by combining copolymers (VC–co–VAc) (Slovinyl KV 173) PVC K70 with expanded graphite plasticizers/modifiers such as diisononyl phthalate - DINP, terephthalate DINTP, dioctyl adipate DOA, well plasticizers that synthesized based on tertiary recycling waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), 1-hexadecene, azodicarbonamide (ADC), tri(p-cresyl phosphate), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) acrylate emulsion (DH50, Ecrylic, or Flexryl, etc.). obtained material's morphology was examined using an emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) field. Tensile testing determine mechanical properties samples, Shore A hardness toughness Charpy impact test. All samples were tested according non-flammability standards. To conform trend "green economy," development novel eco-friendly FRs improved thermal will include careful consideration environmental sustainable development.
