Flame Retardants Fundamentals |
Not yet familiar with the details and theoretical background of flame
retardancy? Need a refresh? Our concise four-hour preconference tutorial
aims to help you in this respect, facilitating and enhancing your
understanding of the high-level technical presentations during the
main conference. Specifically the tutorial will address
- Fundamentals of burning behaviour of different materials
- The different chemistries of flame retardant mechanisms
- Fire tests of different scales and for different applications
- Intumescent coatings as flame retardant or fire resistant coatings
- Fire safety regulations and standards
- Flame retardants and environmental issues, chemical legislation (e.g.
REACH)
