Due to the emphasis on replacing halogenated flame retardants
with alternate technologies, this handbook contains in one place
all of the current commercial non-halogenated flame retardant
technologies, as well as experimental systems near
commercialization.
This book focuses on non-halogenated flame retardants in a
holistic but practical manner. It starts with an overview of
the regulations and customer perceptions driving non-halogenated
flame retardant selection over older halogenated
technologies. It then moves into separate chapters covering
the known major classes of non-halogenated flame retardants.
These chapters are written by known experts in those specific
chemistries who are also industrial experts in how to apply that
technology to polymers for fire safety needs. The handbook
concludes with some of the newer technologies in place that are
either niche performers or may be commercial in the near
future. Future trends in flame retardancy are also
discussed.
The Non-Halogenated Flame Retardant Handbook book takes a
practical approach to addressing the narrow subject of
non-halogenated flame retardancy. This includes more emphasis
on flame retardant selection for specific plastics, practical
considerations in flame retardant material design, and what the
strengths and limits of these various technologies are.
Previous flame retardant material science books have covered
non-halogenated flame retardants, but they focus more on how they
work rather than how to use them.
