Název projektu:
Biodegradable halogen-free fire retardant composition and methods for its application. (Ref: 11 BG 0528 3KW5 )
Popis:
A Bulgarian SME has developed an innovative halogen-free flame retardants for application to flammable polymers with various physicochemical properties and structure like textiles, wood, paper, leather, polystyrene and penopolyurethane. The technology achieves fire safety and prevention by providing increased resistance to ignition, effectively slow down burning rates, low heat release and smoke and toxic gas build up. Partners for commercial, manufacturing, or joint venture agreement are sought
Description:
The innovative flame retardants are applied for hydrophilic and hydrophobic porous polymers with different properties and structure.
The effectiveness of the products in terms of the flame retardant capacity is achieved by the synergistic effect of the phosphorus and nitrogen components in it. As a result the aesthetic qualities of the fire retardant treated materials are preserved – there are no slightly deposits of salts crystallization or residue on the surface of the polymer.
The flame retardant composition is effective in a small amount for impregnation of porous polymers.
The products are neutral and therefore non-corrosive and non-irritating in nature.
The neutral pH allows preservation stability, freezing stability and chemical stability of the flame retardant solution.
The composition is environmentally friendly and is fully safe in that the composition eliminates the generation of halogen gas upon combustion.
Innovations and advantages of the offer
The task of this invention is to create a general composition of biodegradable halogen-free flame retardants, efficient for hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers, such as fabrics, wood, leather, paper, cardboard, extruded and expanded penopolystirol, foamed polymers and items, made of them, irrespective of their physical and chemical properties and structure, while providing a wide range of the relevant application methods of the composition on materials, such as: impregnation in an autoclave with increased pressure, plasma-assisted impregnation, conveyor methods - soaking, draining and drying at high temperature, as well as energy-saving methods for on-site application in client’s premises, such as impregnation by dipping, pouring, brush application, roller application or by spraying at air pressure and room temperature. - Active from the very beginning of fire stating;
- Effective both in the solid and the gas phase of the combustion process;
- Improved penetration and immobilization of the product compared to other similar products;
- Low smoke generation index of the impregnated polymers;
- Low heat release of the impregnated materials;
- Ecologically safe;
- Extra storage life;
- Cost competitiveness.
Current and Potential Domain of Application
The products are applicable for material fire protection in social and cultural spots (theatres, cinemas, TV studios), hotels and complexes, transportation means.
Potential Domain of Application:
Fire extinquishers, sprinkler systems, latex paints, to combat forest fires.

Further Information (Technical Details Concerning the Profile)
The flame retardant product is a phosphorus and nitrogen salts water solution, Its ion activity changes depending on the treated materials by adding anionic, cationic, amphoteric, non-ionic surfactants and mixtures of them. The surfactants in the flame retardant solution increase drastically the capillary activity of the products which allows rapid absorption of only a few seconds, penetration at a faster rate and to a greater depth and improved immobilization of the flame retardant into the polymer matrix compared to other similar products.
Current Stage of Development
