Description

With 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 focuses on how to  formulate a low hazard, safe and halogen free 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.

Why you should not miss the training?

In order to learn about the flame retardant solutions that are offered to compounds designers that can now choose the way to make safer and lower hazard plastic products. The training is also useful to those professionals that are working with PVC plastic compounds as they can now test new safer and alternative solutions instead of Antimony Trioxide (ATO) flame retardant synergist. It is also useful to those working in a quality control and R&D development position, as topics such as compounding and lab equipments will also be covered. Last but not the least, very useful training for  college and University students that would like to find out the challenges and possibilities in the flame retardant plastic job market.

Who should attend this training?

Flame retardant polymer compounds designers, formulators expecting excellent safety and performances, raw materials purchasing managers, quality control and lab personnel and students from colleges and Universities. Product manufacturers will also find it useful in terms of polymer selections.
