Weil, Edward D./Sergei V. Levchik
Flame Retardants for Plastics and Textiles

Practical Applications.

This updated edition provides an overview of flame retardants that are in commercial use, were recently used, or are in development. The book is organized polymer-by-polymer and provides a guide to advantages, limitations, and patented and patent-free formulations, with insight into favorable and unfavorable combinations. The targeted readership is the plastics or textile finish compounder and the plastic additives R&D worker, as well as market development and sales. This edition contains, besides a compendium of current flame retardants, updated information relevant to performance testing, mode of action, and safety and regulatory aspects. Industrial or academic researchers will find useful a discussion of unsolved problems with possible new approaches. Both authors have extended, productive experience in both basic and applied research on a wide range of flame retardancy topics. - From the Table of Contents: Flame Retardants in Commercial Use or Development for Polyolefins, Olefin Copolymers, and Diene Elastomers - Flame Retardants in Commercial Use or Development for Polystyrenes and Thermoplastic Styrene Copolymers, and Blends - Flame Retardants in Commercial Use or Development for Vinyl Chloride Polymers - Flame Retardants in Commercial Use or Development for Flame Retardancy of Polyamides - Flame Retardants in Commercial Use or Development for Thermoplastic Polyesters - Flame Retardants in Commercial Use or Development for Polycarbonates and Polycarbonate Blends - Flame Retardants in Commercial Use or Development for Unsaturated Polyesters, Vinyl Resins, and Phenolics - Flame Retardants in Commercial Use or Development for Polyurethanes, Polyisocyanurates, and Polyureas - Flame Retardants in Commercial Use or Development for Epoxy Resins - Flame Retardants in Commercial Use or Development for Textiles - Comments on Flammability and Smoke Tests Useful in Development - Overview of Modes of Action and Interaction of Flame Retardants - Further Sources for Flame Retardancy Information - Index. 2.
