Effect of Flame Retardants on Flame Retardancy of Rigid Polyurethane Foam

Identification of Flame Retardants in Polyurethane Foam Collected from Baby Products

With the phase-out of PentaBDE in 2004, alternative flame retardants are being used in polyurethane foam to meet flammability standards. However, insufficient information is available on the identity of the flame retardants currently in use. Baby products containing polyurethane foam must meet California state furniture flammability standards, which likely affects the use of flame retardants in...

Effect of Clay Network Formation on Flame Retardancy of Polyethylene terephthalate/montmorillonite Nanocomposites

Considering the importance of determining potential hazards and factors that can cause anunexpected fire and due to the important role of nanotechnology to achieve more effectiveproperties, this paper presents our experiments on preparing nanocomposites based onPoly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) and montmorillonite (MMT) as organoclay via meltblending with different clay loadings to investigate ...
