First announcement and call for presentation to “FireFoam day”

Posted on May 20, 2015 by Henri VAHABI
The french group of research on fire, ‘GdR CNRS Feux‘, organizes Wednesday, September 23, 2015 at INERIS in Paris (10th arr) a workshop on the FireFoam model. This meeting follows the one organized in 2014.
Brief description of FireFoam: With fireFoam, it is possible to simulate the growth and dynamics of fires in enclosed volumes. It can be used to understand and analyze the important phenomena that control the growth of a fire, to determine the thermal impact on the environment of the source of fire, to predict the movement of smokes between connected compartments. It is developped by the FM-Global company, in the frame of the OpenFOAM platform, which is a set of free softwares, developed in the logic GNU GPL (The General Public License) and provides all the tools for the simulation of solid mechanics, heat transfers and fluid mechanics. FireFOAM is open and free and include all the developments of OpenFOAM. In addition, FireFOAM contains all the necessary tools for the simulation of the phenomena that control the dynamics of a fire, combustion, radiation, soot production, extinction by sprinklers …

This workshop aims
–  to explore the opportunities of FireFOAM in presenting applications,
–  to launch discussions on general or technical issues.

ICL to close flame-retardant producing line in Israel plant

Posted on May 6, 2015 by Henri VAHABI

http://www.chemicals-technology.com: 5 May 2015

ICL Industrial Products (ICL IP), an operating segment of Israel Chemical, is set to close its Israeli flame-retardant production facility. According to the company, the decision to close the line, which produces FR-1210 (DECA) product, comes as customers look to alternative suppliers.

The company previously decided to increase its R&D efforts to develop new alternatives to FR-1210 that are recommended by company-developed Systematic Assessment of Flame-Retardant (SAFR) tool. The decision to discontinue production has been announced as customers are opting for competitive products from suppliers, including Chinese producers.

In order to phase out of its FR-1210 activities, the segment proposes to remain committed to the flame retardant business and plans to collaborate with all of its customers. In November 2014, ICL IP began chemical processing at its Israel manufacturing plant for the production of FR-122P polymeric flame-retardants. Expected to produce 10,000t of flame-retardants a year, the plant complements the company’s existing facility located in the Netherlands.

ICL said that this flame-retardant will replace the segment’s HBCD flame retardant product, which is used in EPS / XPS insulation foams at present. Manufacturing various industrial chemicals based on bromine, magnesia, chlorine and salts, ICL IP supplies one-third of the world’s elemental bromine.

BASF introduces improved flame retardant grade for E&E applications

Posted on October 22, 2014 by Henri VAHABI

A flame-retardant and glass fiber-reinforced polyamide (PA), the new Ultramid A3U42G6, is now part of BASF’s plastics portfolio, as per the company’s statement.
This light colorable grade features easy processing with reduced deposit formation and corrosivity. Thus, it increases the durability of plasticizing units and injection molds and helps reducing production stoppages due to service and maintenance.
The new material meets UL 94 requirements for the V-0 flammability class at wall thicknesses as low as 0.4 millimeters. Its thermal ageing resistance has been considerably improved over that of well-known glass fiber-filled polyamide grades. With an RTI for dielectric strength (UL 746B) of 140 C at a wall thickness of 0.4 millimeters and even 150 C at thicknesses starting at 0.75 millimeters, the new Ultramid A3U42G6 is especially well suited for use at higher temperatures.

The new flame retardant system shows no migration effects and thus ensures component surfaces of higher quality. It also contains no halogen or antimony components. This allows favorable smoke density and toxicity values to be attained and also complies with the WEEE and ROHS directives.

Reinforced with 30% glass fibers, Ultramid A3U42G6 possesses the good mechanical properties typical of polyamides, and can be marked by laser, when colored black. This new grade is especially suitable for connectors and thermally stressed industrial automation applications such as switchgears and contactors…

European Commission Decision- Ecolabel for textile products

Posted on September 17, 2014 by Henri VAHABI
EU Ecolabels recognise fire safety
Updated “ecological criteria” for the EU Flower Ecolabel for textile products (5thJune 2014) and for bed mattresses (23 June 2014) recognise fire safety and flame retardants as necessary to achieve this. Durabilityof flame retardancy is specified as a criterion for “fitness for use”. Substances subject to certain hazardclassifications are “derogated” (that is, accepted for use) where the product “is required to meet fire protection requirements in ISO, EN, Member State or public sector procurement standards and regulations ”   European Commission Decision: CLICK HERE
