Objectif
The extensive use of polymers increases fire hazard. Harmful gases may also evolve at burning causing environmental damage . The integrated activity of universities , research institute , regulatory body , SMEs and user , from two EU countries plus two associated ones , concentrate on development and production of a new high performance recyclable and low-cost halogen free flame retarded product family, demonstration of its applicability in the area of transport and dissemination of the results in various application fields and countries. The innovation includes synthetics, encapsulation of flame retardant particles, formation of nanocomposite structure and of nano - sized protective layer, which can be applied in advanced reactive manufacturing processes of flame retarded extended lifetime interior vehicle elements and other products of increased safety . Improvement is expected in safety, cost, recyclability, toxicity and lifetime.
Main technical achievements of the project are as follows:
· synthesis of new and surface modified FLAMERET additives, 2 types of which were utilized by flame retardant producer companies,
· preparation of polymer granulates sheets, textiles, 5 types of which were manufactured on industrial scale,
· elaboration of a new, recyclable, economic, halogen-free FLAMERET products (like dashboard, a complete seat, other injection moulded articles, decorative textile and a fire barrier nonwoven back layer), which were processed by the SME type partners and in some of which the increased level of fire safety is combined with sound insulating character,
· elaboration of proposals for new, improved standards taking into account smoke emission, toxicity, corrosiveness, etc. because the currently required fire resistency in buses and cars is far from the safe level,
· installation of the developed FLAMERET seats in trains,
· elaboration of new efficient technology for recycling by two layer injection moulding and extrusion composed of recycled (and reinforced) core and flame retarded shell, which means a revolutionary advancement.
