Non-halogenated Flame Retardant Handbook

Más información sobre el libro

The 2nd edition of this comprehensive handbook serves as a crucial resource for understanding and applying non-halogenated flame retardant technology. It emphasizes practical and applied issues, building on the foundational knowledge from the 1st edition without merely rehashing previous content. While the core concepts of non-halogenated flame retardants remain consistent since 2014, advancements and regulatory changes warrant this updated edition. It features chapters dedicated to regulations and the driving forces behind non-halogenated flame retardants, alongside detailed discussions of major flame retardant classes and emerging technologies, including coatings and bio-derived solutions. The book maintains a practical focus, offering insights into flame retardant selection for specific plastics, material design considerations, and the strengths and limitations of various technologies. Unlike previous texts that delve into the science behind non-halogenated flame retardants, this handbook prioritizes their practical applications, making it an invaluable tool for industrial chemists and material scientists. Its primary audience includes material scientists, industrial chemists, and fire safety engineers, as well as academics engaged in developing innovative flame retardant solutions.
