Design Low Hazard, low Smoke, Halogen Free & Flame Retardant Polymer CompoundsWith the increased demand for safety and health hazards, companies are now developing materials that are non-hazardous, safe and flame retardant. It is now understood that smoke and poisonous fumes can be a greater risk to lives than that of fire alone. This training mainly focuses on how to design a low hazard and safe flame retardant plastic material compounds.
At the same time it gives an overview on the different flame retardants fillers and additives available on the market, including their price range, mode of action and safety profile. In this training a closer look will be given to the materials used in the wire & cable applications, especially those compounds that are based on halogen free polyolefins and metallic hydroxides like ATH which is the most used flame retardant filler of all. Moreover, very interesting insight will be given to new nanofiller additives that are increasingly used in plastic recipes as they act as char promoters, gas barrier and reinforcement/nucleating agents. Last but not the least, a practical cable case study and useful summary of the main key players in the flame retardant plastic market will be presented.
