Flame Retardancy Series 2 FR Mechanism and Selection Criteria

Flame Retardancy have to inhibit or suppress the combustion process. Defending on polymer, application and fire safety requirements, the flame retardants interfere in one or sveral stages of the combustion process-heating , decomposition ignition, flame spread or smoke process. The Entire range of flame retardants & Mechanism has been discussed in this presentation followed by Criteria for selection of FR covering efficiency, cost, thickness, influence on properties, compatibility, smoke/ corositivity issues and Environmental impact presented by Dr. Rashmi Bhardwaj - VP development from Formulated Polymers Limited and Mr.Alex Chopin- Technology Manager from Eurostar Engineering Plastics on 20th August 2020.
