Periodo di rendicontazione: 2015-05-01 al 2015-10-31
Paxymer AB is a technology with potential to reduce the use of persistent and endocrine disrupting flame retardant substances in plastics. The work plan for phase 1 of the project contained several different work streams that were investigated during the project.
- In-depth interviews were made with the market both with leading compounders and with industry organizations for the key markets that use flame retardants namely: building and construction, automotive and electrical and electronics equipment.
- IP novelty search was conducted in order to map the current IP landscape. The search confirmed that Paxymer AB is free to pursue its current development without risking an IPR infringement and also have the possibility to further expand its patent portfolio.
The outcome of the feasibility study enforced the ambition of Paxymer ABs ambition to submit an application for Horizon 2020 phase 2 to fully develop the products for the identified industries meeting their specific demands.
