In particular, it was found that these "green" products, which typically contain some key flame-retardant elements (such as phosphorus, nitrogen, and sulfur), can be effortlessly applied to textiles using standard impregnation/exhaustion procedures or even advanced methods, like the layer-by-layer ...
Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is known to contain large amounts of potentially toxic chemicals. This includes polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) used as flame retardants in circuit boards, plastic casings and wire and cable insulation, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) used as dielectric...
The products are halogen-free, and contain 0% VOCs. All products are available with a broad-spectrum biocide and are packaged in five gallon pails or 55 gallon drums. In fact, Turning Star fire retardants are so good, they’ve earned the approval of the Fire Department of the City of Ne...
New York, Washington, Alaska, Massachusetts, Vermont and Connecticut. 24 children's nap mats, 22 of which contain flame retardants. Tests have found that there are 10 flame retardants used in these nap pads, 19
In general the products claiming to contain nanotechnology do indeed exploit nanoscale effects, primarily interface effects but also a few quantum effects. Interestingly, the products that proudly use the "nano" brand are only a small percentage of the number of consumer products that actually ...
device includes a variety of heavy metals – beryllium,cadmium, chromium,lead, nickel,mercury, lithium, and zinc – many of which are health and environmental toxins. Electronics also contain brominatedflame retardants. And of course, they contain a variety of nonrecyclable, fossil fuel-based...
Under BPR, biocidal products cannot be placed on the EU market or used without prior approval of the active substance(s) that they contain [18]. Approval is based on the evaluation of several intrinsic properties of the active substance with regard to safety data. These data, which must be...
Many other presently available flame-retardant bitumen compositions contain large amounts or at least a 35 percent concentration of flame-retardant compounds. Other flame-retardant bitumen compositions include flame-retardant compounds that are partially water soluble. These partially water soluble flame-reta...
In this standard, the term “low-halogen” is defined in Clause 4 and is used to identify materials within electronic products that contain low concentrations of bromine and chlorine from brominated and chlorinated flame retardants (BFRs, CFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Should one choose to ...
First of all it should be stated that the mixtures (A), (B), and (C) are at any rate different from one another. They therefore each contain different monomers and/or different proportions of at least one defined monomer. Mixture (A) comprises at least 50 wt %, preferably at least 55...
