Introduce Flame Retardation In Plastic Material

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 including the right additives, the combustion of the material can be prevented and fire breakouts all together avoided.

 

How can the flammability of plastics be reduced?

Since plastics are organic polymer compounds, they suffer from the disadvantage of being flammable. However, to avail the vast applications of plastics and to make them fireproof, producers can take the help of halogen-based flame retardants and Anti Dripping Additives and make them less flammable.

 

Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFL) is a leading Indian chemicals manufacturer that offers exceptional quality of flame retardants to be utilised in various industries. Our offerings are widely tested and are proven to mitigate fire danger to a vast degree.

Use Fire Retardant for Making your Polymers Fire Proof

Polymers are widely used in various applications. However, just like the majority of other organic compounds polymers are also flammable. These lightweight, high-performance polymeric materials offer many advantages in industrial as well as commercial applications, but they greatly increase the risk of fire because of their flammable property. To help overcome this issue Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFL) has come up with fluorine-based fire retardants catering to the material requirements of various industries.   Fire Retardant Chemistry   When a polymer comes into contact with flame, the following types of products are released: 1.     Combustible gases (like methane, ethane, and carbon monoxide) 2.     Noncombustible gases (like carbon dioxide, hydrogen bromide, and hydrogen chloride) 3.     Liquids which are partially degraded polymers 4.     Fine particles of the decomposing polymers 5.     Discrete solid in form of char or carbonaceous residue.     Among

Why Are Flame Retardant Additives Required In Household Materials?

You must have witnessed that everyone is talking about including flame retardant and anti dripping additives in their product to provide greater value to the end customers in the industry. Many of you might wonder about the utility of flame retardancy in the products you offer.   Flame Retardancy: A Desirable Product Property If you follow the news closely, you must have heard of fire breaking out and taking many lives. A lot of damage, destruction and harm to life and property is caused due to fires. To lessen this man-made calamity and prevent it from its very root, companies are manufacturing products which retard the flame and ensure that the household items that they provide do not catch fire easily.   Flame Retardants: A Brief The primary purpose of flame retardants is   to protect the people from accidental fires. They achieve this goal by reducing the flammability of combustible materials such as plastics and synthetic polymers. Even fire codes emphasize and deman

Fire Safety First With Anti Dripping Agents In Products

We all have plastics and electronics around us. If you are living in an urban area, you can't imagine your life without these, can you? Even the rural folks aren't untouched by the latest technologies, inventions and innovations which are making lives super easy. Wherever these products of great utility are, there lies a potential for a fire hazard.   The fire breakouts can occur anywhere. All they require are the right conditions for sparks to turn into flames and from flames come the blazing fire that destroys everything in its way, leaving only a trail of ashes behind.   Anti Dripping Agents To The Fire Rescue Since we know that fire can cause great harm to life and property alike, it's better to take every possible preventive measure and ensure that the dismal situation of everything ending up in ashes doesn't arise. It is rightly said that prevention is better than cure. Hence, manufacturers are laying emphasis on creating firesafe products with the inco
