Guidance on alternative flame retardants to the use of commercial pentabromodiphenylether (c-PentaBDE)
Preface In 2005 Norway nominated the brominated flame retardant commercial pentabromodiphenylether (c-PentaBDE) as a persistant organic pollutant (POP) to be evaluated for inclusion in the Stockholm Convention. Based on its Risk Profile developed in 2006 and its Risk Management Evaluation Report developed in 2007, the POPs Review Committee (POPRC) concluded that global action on c-PentaBDE is w...
متن کاملExploring the Modes of Action of Phosphorus-Based Flame Retardants in Polymeric Systems
Phosphorus-based flame retardants were incorporated into different, easily preparable matrices, such as polymeric thermoset resins and paraffin as a proposed model for polyolefins and investigated for their flame retardancy performance. The favored mode of action of each flame retardant was identified in each respective system and at each respective concentration. Thermogravimetric analysis was...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Organophosphorus Flame Retardants Containing P-C Bond and Their Applications
Organophosphorus compounds containing P-C bonds are increasingly developed as flame retardant additives due to their excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability and ease of synthesis. The latest development (since 2010) in organophosphorus flame retardants containing P-C bonds summarized in this review. In this review, we have broadly classified such phosphorus compounds based on the carbon unit...
متن کاملAnalysis of flame retardant additives in polymer fractions of waste of electric and electronic equipment (WEEE) by means of HPLC-UV/MS and GPC-HPLC-UV.
An HPLC-UV/MS method has been developed to identify and quantify flame retardants in post-consumer plastics from waste of electric and electronic equipment (WEEE). Atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation spectra of 15 brominated and phosphate-based flame retardants were recorded and interpreted. The method was applied to detect flame retardant additives in polymer extracts obtained from pressu...
متن کاملInfluence of Flame Retardants on the Melt Dripping Behaviour of Thermoplastic Polymers
Melt flow and dripping of the pyrolysing polymer melt can be both a benefit and a detriment during a fire. In several small-scale fire tests addressing the ignition of a defined specimen with a small ignition source, well-adjusted melt flow and dripping are usually beneficial to pass the test. The presence of flame retardants often changes the melt viscosity crucially. The influence of certain ...
