Fire hazard is a constant risk in everyday life with the use of combustibles such as polymeric materials, wood, and fabrics, to name few. Halogenated compounds have been widely used efficient flame-retardants, often being applied coatings or impregnations. With growing environmental concerns regional bans on halogenated flame-retardant compounds, bio-based alternatives are garnering significant...

Deketoxime–type room–temperature vulcanized silicone rubber cable materials were prepared using α, ω–dihydroxy polydimethylsiloxane, carbon black, calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, piperazine bis (diphenoxy phosphate) salt (PBDP), and melamine diphenoxy phosphate (MDP). The effects of black flame retardants on the mechanical properties, flame–retardant electrical insulation properties coa...
