A flame retardant article has excellent flame retardancy. The flame retardant article contains a cured resin member that is obtained by curing a thermosetting resin composition containing a thermosetting resin. The cured resin member forms an oxygen insulating carbonized layer when being burned. The cured resin member is present in at least a part of a surface of the expanded member obtained by expanding a thermoplastic resin composition containing a thermoplastic resin. The thermoplastic resin generates a residue when heated to 600 C. at a temperature increase rate of 10 C./minute under a nitrogen atmosphere.

A device for storage, generation, transmission, distribution and/or other use of electrical energy, comprising a flame retardant molded article, comprising a polymer matrix containing a crosslinked aliphatic polyketone (PK) in combination with at least one flame retardant and to a method for improving the flame retardant properties of molded articles for electrical devices. In addition electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems, power tools and devices for power generation and to parts therof, comprising a flame retardant molded article, comprising a polymer matrix containing a crosslinked aliphatic polyketone (PK) in combination with at least one flame retardant.

Included is a homogeneous sheet, which excludes polyvinylchloride. The sheet includes a polyurethane, a synthetic rubber blend, and a filler. The synthetic rubber blend may include a pre-mix of a synthetic rubber and white oil.

The present invention relates to compositions comprising at least one thermoplastic polyurethane, at least melamine cyanurate, at least one first phosphorus-containing flame retardant (F1) selected from the group consisting of derivatives of phosphoric acid and derivatives of phosphonic acid and at least one further phosphorus-containing flame retardant (F2) selected from the group consisting of derivatives of phosphinic acid, and to the use of such a composition for production of cable sheaths.

Disclosed is a flame-retardant HIPS material and a preparation method thereof, comprising the following components: 90 parts to 67 parts of a HIPS resin; 8 parts to 15 parts of a brominated flame retardant; and 3 parts to 7 parts of an auxiliary flame retardant; wherein the auxiliary flame retardant is a 1,3,5-triazine compound. In the present invention, a synergistic compounding of the brominated flame retardant and the auxiliary flame retardant effectively reduces an amount of the brominated flame retardant, and a stable UL 94 (1.5 mm) V-0 flame-retardant class can be achieved. Compared with the existing brominated flame-retardant HIPS, the present invention has a low halogen content, low gas, and high cost performance ratio, which avoids excessive acid gas from forming air lines on the surface of parts, has a good appearance.

Disclosed are plastic products from a recycled plastic mix of unidentified, unclean and unsorted mixed plastic waste made with a system comprising thermal and mechanical processing of the recycled plastic waste using continuous extrusion foaming, two-phase cooling, continuous metering of the pulling strength and automatic adjustment of the pulling speed and extrusion speed.

A method for manufacturing at least one part of an engine component by means of a blank from an intumescent material, which contains at least one fibrous matrix of organic and/or inorganic fibers and an intumescent substance, is provided. The blank is created from the intumescent material with a three-dimensional structure that is already adjusted with respect to its contours to the contours of the part of the engine component to be manufactured and the blank comprising the three-dimensional structure is impregnated through a hardening resin, and is connected, prior to or after the impregnation, to at least one support material that is also already adjusted to the contours of the part to be manufactured and at least partially forms the engine component together with the blank connected thereto.

This invention relates to a fireproofing article and the method of manufacturing the same. The fireproofing article comprises an external portion and an inner portion. The external portion defines external surfaces of the fireproofing article that are exposed to the environment. The inner portion is formed inside of the external portion. The external portion and the inner portion are both porous and made of a fireproofing material. The external portion has a first material density and the inner portion has a second material density. The first material density is less than the second material density. The method of manufacturing a fireproofing article comprises forming the fireproofing article with a fireproofing material through 3D printing; wherein the fireproofing article formed is porous.

Disclosed herein are, for instance, reinforced composites comprising an airlaid mat comprising a natural fiber component; and a resin dispersed within the airlaid mat; wherein the reinforced composite has a natural fiber volume fraction of 20 vol % to 80 vol %, by volume of the reinforced composite. Also disclosed herein are methods of making reinforced composites. For instance, disclosed herein are methods comprising forming a preform comprising: heating an airlaid mat to a temperature of from 40 C. to 200 C., the airlaid mat comprising a natural fiber component and a binder fiber component; and compressing the airlaid mat at a pressure of from 100 psi to 1200 psi; and impregnating the preform with a resin to form a reinforced composite.

A composition and a manufacturing method of a highly flame-retardant and low-smoke injection-molded polyvinyl chloride pipe are provided. The composition includes a polyvinyl chloride resin material, a chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin material, a flame retardant additive and a carbon forming additive. A first number-average degree of polymerization (DPn) of the polyvinyl chloride resin material is between 600 and 1,000. A second number-average degree of polymerization of the chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin material is between 600 and 800. A difference between the first number-average degree of polymerization and the second number-average degree of polymerization is within 400. The flame retardant additive is a phosphorus-containing flame retardant modified by a modifier. A total added amount of the flame retardant additive and the carbon forming additive in the composition is not greater than 3 PHR.
