PyraStop Retardant Polymer
PyraStop Retardant Polymer offers a revolutionary solution to the challenges posed by conventional flame retardants. Unlike traditional flame retardants, PyraStop Polymer does not leach, ensuring long-lasting fire protection without compromising safety.
Fire safety is a critical concern in various industries, ranging from construction to electronics and textiles. Traditional flame retardants, widely used, are now raising significant health and environmental concerns. The PyraStop company, an emerging supplier of high-performing fire-retardant products, presents an innovative solution – the PyraStop Retardant Polymer.
Hazards of Current
Flame Retardants
Health Risks
Studies have shown the potential health risks associated with current flame retardants. These risks include infertility and birth defects, an increased risk of cancer, autism and ADHD, and neurological problems. Such health concerns have prompted several countries to ban or restrict the use of certain flame retardants.
Countries Banning or Restricting Flame Retardants
Currently, many brominated flame retardants, chlorinated flame retardants, and antimony oxide flame retardants are banned in multiple countries. These restrictions highlight the need for safer alternatives that comply with stringent safety regulations.
The impracticality of Existing Flame Retardants
One of the challenges faced by professionals in the field is the practicality of existing flame retardants. Some of these options require high loading, which can impact the integrity of the material they are applied to. For example, quite a bit of aluminum trihydroxide, a commonly used flame retardant necessitates high loading and poses practical challenges in various applications.
The Challenge of Fire-Retardant Leaching
Fire retardant leaching is the most significant concern associated with conventional flame retardants. This is the primary reason the use of several conventional fire-retardants has been either banned or restricted. These fire-retardants can leach out when the treated material is put to their normal use. When flame retardants leach they pose risks to human health and the environment.
Introducing PyraStop Retardant Polymer
PyraStop Retardant Polymer offers a revolutionary solution to the challenges posed by conventional flame retardants. Unlike traditional flame retardants, Pyrastop Polymer does not leach, ensuring long-lasting fire protection without compromising safety.
Unique Features of PyraStop Polymer
PyraStop Polymer stands out due to its intricate and interwoven composition. The arrangement of its molecules grants it enhanced fire-retardant properties, all while maintaining the stability of the material it is integrated into. This distinctive structure ensures that Firesafe Polymer remains highly effective, while also improving safety for both humans and the environment.
When compared to conventional flame retardants that employ small molecule additives, Firesafe Polymer's large molecular structure significantly reduces the risk of leaching. This particular attribute becomes crucial when treated products are exposed to real-world conditions. With its superior performance and emphasis on safety, Firesafe Polymer emerges as a transformative force in the fire safety industry.
Product Status and Testing
The PyraStop Polymer has demonstrated good compatibility with commonly used commodity polymers while maintaining excellent flame retardation properties.
The polymer also demonstrated excellent fire-retardant characteristics in the UL 94 flammability test for plastics.
Applications of PyraStop Retardant Polymer
Pyrastop will collaborate with partners to develop fire retardant solutions across textile industries in many different wayys.
Textiles
The PyraStop Retardant Polymer is a novel solution that addresses the shortcomings of traditional flame retardants. By offering a safer alternative that does not leach, PyraStop Polymer revolutionizes fire safety for humans and the environment.
