Soaring Demand Of Flame Retardant Products In The Market

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 the latter two. Cut the fuel and you have got a small fire. Cut the source of ignition and you have got no fire at all.

 

How does flame retardant help in fire prevention?

Flame retardant works on fuel. As we know, fuels are flammable so the more we surround ourselves with inflammable materials, the greater the chance of fire break outs. The purpose of flame retardant and anti dripping is to downplay the fire supporting characteristics of a material and introduce the properties of the flame retardancy in it.

 

Gujarat Fluorochemicals (GFL) is a leading producer of fluorine-based flame retardants and anti dripping additives that are incorporated in the polymer compounds to create fire safe products which find a greater range of applications in diverse industries. Connect to GFL to avail effective flame retardants and fulfil the material requirements of the modern world.

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

How Flame Retardants & Anti Dripping Additives Function In Polymers?

The vast majority of polymer compounds which find a great many applications in diverse industries are inflammable. That's why these versatile materials sometimes find their usage being limited to those conditions where the probability of fire breaks are minimal.   Since we all are well aware that flames can take a monstrous form, destroying everything in its way, it is better to be safe than sorry. It is rightly said that prevention is better than cure. However, with a scientific mindset, we have not just one way to go about things but many. For enlarging the vast array of employment of polymer compounds, Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited have come up with effective Anti Dripping Additives that don't let the polymer material drip away or catch fire easily when introduced to a flame.   Here is a rundown on how Flame Retardant Additives do their magic and make polymer compounds fireproof.   ●      Vapor Phase Inhibition . The flame retardant additives excellently di

Why Are Flame Retardant Additives Needed To Be Included In Plastics?

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
