Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The field of flame retardancy has witnessed in the last decade a vigorous
development of new technologies and new products and materials to meet the
challenge of the needs of new industries-such as the computer, electronics and
telecommunication industries. An additional challenge was presented by the
growing awareness of environmental issues and by the stiffening demands of
consumer safety, which have been put forward by governments and public
agencies. It became clear that new flame-retardant systems are needed to meet
the new product and market demands. New regulations, standards and testing
methods, as well as instruments, are essential for assessing and defining
these needs. Such new regulations are indeed being introduced, particularly in
recent years, in the European community. These new regulations present new
challenges to the flame-retardancy industry. It is not surprising therefore;
that the number of scientists and technologists engaged in this field, as well
as the number of universities and companies dealing in flame retardancy, is
steadily growing.
Every manufacturer needs to be aware of new regulations and the products and
processes that will meet them. New materials and formulations are rapidly
changing the economic equation. Companies that adopt the latest technology
will have the edge in providing their customers with the best balance of
properties at the lowest possible price.
This anthology, based on the monthly newsletter Flame Retardancy News, keeps
the reader up-to-date on fire codes and the technology that one needs to make
the products meet these ever more stringent standards. It reviews the latest
news from the previous year on:
- News from all major applications: automotive, wire and cable, interiors
and furnishings, appliances, computers/business machines.
- Descriptions of the latest flame-retardant products.
- Analyses and comparisons of new technology.
- The latest patents on flame-retardant materials and processes.
- The important advances in modeling, testing, mechanisms, smoke and
toxicity.
- The activities of key companies in the flame retardants industry.
- New regulations and standards that will affect your business.
- Development of new flame retardants.
