Plastics are among the most versatile polymer materials of which mankind makes extensive use. These materials with high molecular weight comprise of molecules known as monomers. Their chemical composition is such that they are easily ignited the moment they are exposed to heat in the presence of oxygen.   They are the perfect fuels for fire. To think of it, it is such a waste to not have plastics be employed in several domains due to its low resistance to fire which is good as fire safety is the top priority of people all around. However, none will disagree with the fact that incredible possibilities can exist if plastics were to develop the characteristics of flame retardation and more in them. There would be a great many new innovations and applications.   To make plastics safer by awarding them with the properties of flame retardance and anti dripping, manufacturers have begun incorporating effective flame retardants in them in order to minimize flammability. By in...

Fire consumes all in its way. The fierce flames are dreaded by all for the mass destruction they cause when they get out of control. People have wondered and gone into depths to discover what makes fire burn in pursuit of controlling it and using it to one's advantage.   It's no coincidence that the punishing ways in inferno utilise fire as a weapon to cause pain that's unbearable. When we get to it, we find that fire is nothing but a chemical reaction that produces vast amounts of heat. It ignites with the fire triangle that consists of oxygen, fuel and heat that sparks the reaction into action and these together bring havoc on earth. Take one out and you see fire breakouts deescalating and coming to a rest.   Requirement of Fire Retardant Additives in Plastics Plastics have become a part and parcel of our lives. With its countless applications in diverse sectors, people have to realise the need for fireproof plastics for safety. Also, Fire Retardant Additives ...

Since the time immemorial, human civilisation has been finding ways to manage fires and control the flames to their benefit. To much extent, they have been successful in their pursuit of taming the flames which made a shudder run down the spines of the early man once as the fear of fires was so great. However, the forest fires still run wild, destroying everything in its way and leaving just a trail of ashes behind so are the urban fire breakouts caused with much frequency and it takes great efforts to extinguish them both.   Our inventive scientists have come up with ways employing which fire risk, if not eradicated, can be reduced to a great extent. The need of the present times is to fight the fire to its core and deal with its root cause.   How are fires caused? Sparks fly when oxygen, fuel and a source of ignition come together. When these are kept apart, there is no chance of fire. Since oxygen is in the atmosphere all around us, what we need to work on are ...
