Kunststoffenbeurs 2022 – “Flame Retardants. A Changing Landscape” Presentation.

1

00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:01,530

– Good afternoon, everyone; welcome.

2

00:00:01,530 –> 00:00:03,177

I’m James, and this is Richard.

3

00:00:03,177 –> 00:00:05,580

And we’re from a company called

Polymer Compounders Limited.

4

00:00:05,580 –> 00:00:06,783

We’re based in the UK.

5

00:00:08,877 –> 00:00:12,450

And we were first established in 1993.

6

00:00:12,450 –> 00:00:15,210

We are a specialist

thermoplastic compounder

7

00:00:15,210 –> 00:00:17,670

specializing in ABS compounds,

8

00:00:17,670 –> 00:00:22,650

Polycarbonate, ASA’s, PC-ABS alloy blends,

9

00:00:22,650 –> 00:00:24,810

and PC/ASA alloy blends.

10

00:00:24,810 –> 00:00:27,150

We also are best known for

11

00:00:27,150 –> 00:00:30,873

dealing with large-scale OEMs

such as Renault and Nissan.

12

00:00:34,860 –> 00:00:36,240

– So yeah, the topic

13

00:00:36,240 –> 00:00:39,955

of today’s presentations

all about flame retardants.

14

00:00:39,955 –> 00:00:43,260

So as a compounder,

one of the easiest jobs

15

00:00:43,260 –> 00:00:44,696

we can do is just add pigments

16

00:00:44,696 –> 00:00:48,400

for example, in our

thermoplastic materials.

17

00:00:48,400 –> 00:00:51,857

What some of the more

exciting stuff is, you know

18

00:00:51,857 –> 00:00:56,857

conductive additives and or

antistatic or flame retardants.

19

00:00:57,540 –> 00:01:01,410

So, so that’s the, the topic

20

00:01:01,410 –> 00:01:04,356

of today’s presentation really how we see

21

00:01:04,356 –> 00:01:09,270

the future of flame

retardants progressing.

22

00:01:09,270 –> 00:01:12,787

We’ll just maybe just cover

a couple of the basics

23

00:01:12,787 –> 00:01:17,787

in terms of what we’re talking

about regarding flame retardants.

24

00:01:18,415 –> 00:01:19,248

So flame retardants

25

00:01:19,248 –> 00:01:23,647

for us is really trying to

meet the U-94 specifications.

26

00:01:26,070 –> 00:01:30,600

Most typically are what we call V ratings.

27

00:01:30,600 –> 00:01:34,170

So that could be anything

from a V zero or V1 or V2.

28

00:01:34,170 –> 00:01:37,020

But in particular, at the

moment where we’re concerned

29

00:01:37,020 –> 00:01:39,420

the most common really for things

30

00:01:39,420 –> 00:01:43,650

like electrical enclosures

are V0 ratings.

31

00:01:43,650 –> 00:01:47,340

And typically, it’s something

like 1.5 millimetres.

32

00:01:47,340 –> 00:01:50,118

And to hit that V0 rating,

33

00:01:50,118 –> 00:01:53,940

you really need to have a self

extinguishing part of that.

34

00:01:53,940 –> 00:01:56,250

That means it will self extinguish

35

00:01:56,250 –> 00:02:00,210

within 10 seconds and there’s

no flaming burning drips

36

00:02:00,210 –> 00:02:03,273

for the material when it’s,

when it’s been ignited.

37

00:02:06,510 –> 00:02:07,390

So

38

00:02:09,030 –> 00:02:09,990

The landscape for

39

00:02:09,990 –> 00:02:12,723

for flame retardants is

really changing at the moment.

40

00:02:14,100 –> 00:02:19,100

If we look at a typical

flame retardant ABS material

41

00:02:20,589 –> 00:02:22,620

so a very common material

that you may have

42

00:02:22,620 –> 00:02:23,453

in your own homes,

43

00:02:23,453 –> 00:02:27,720

it’s very commonly found in

things like tumble dryers

44

00:02:27,720 –> 00:02:32,720

and other high heat, electrical

appliances within the home.

45

00:02:33,120 –> 00:02:37,260

So these, the only way you

can get a flame-retardant ABS

46

00:02:37,260 –> 00:02:39,300

to meet this V0 regulation

47

00:02:39,300 –> 00:02:43,740

at the moment is to use

halogenated flame retardants.

48

00:02:43,740 –> 00:02:46,410

Then we all know and can agree that, yeah

49

00:02:46,410 –> 00:02:49,320

we can avoid using these

halogenated systems.

50

00:02:49,320 –> 00:02:52,473

That’s, that’s the way we

should be going forward.

51

00:02:53,940 –> 00:02:58,088

However, the ECHA, a

European chemicals agency are

52

00:02:58,088 –> 00:03:01,320

are deciding now that

they’re going to ban just

53

00:03:01,320 –> 00:03:05,489

about every chemical that can

be used to make these types

54

00:03:05,489 –> 00:03:06,963

of ABS materials.

55

00:03:07,800 –> 00:03:09,450

So that really creates a problem

56

00:03:09,450 –> 00:03:11,866

for the injection moulding industry

57

00:03:11,866 –> 00:03:14,832

and certain chemical suppliers.

58

00:03:14,832 –> 00:03:19,530

So the next step really for

an engineer maybe to look

59

00:03:19,530 –> 00:03:23,280

at something like an FR PC/ABS

60

00:03:23,280 –> 00:03:28,003

cause when you’ve added the

polycarbonate to the ABS blend

61

00:03:28,003 –> 00:03:32,302

you impart a little bit

more of flame retardancy,

62

00:03:32,302 –> 00:03:35,640

and that means that we can get

an FR PC/ABS that meets the V

63

00:03:35,640 –> 00:03:38,625

zero regulation without using halogens,

64

00:03:38,625 –> 00:03:41,250

those chemicals are now coming

65

00:03:41,250 –> 00:03:43,293

under increasing concern as well.

66

00:03:45,068 –> 00:03:50,068

So the toxicity is, is becoming

a real problem for these

67

00:03:53,544 –> 00:03:54,377

for just about every flame retardant

68

00:03:54,377 –> 00:03:58,443

that is used in ABS and

PC/ABS at the moment.

69

00:04:00,150 –> 00:04:03,750

– Yeah, so this brings

us on to the evolution

70

00:04:03,750 –> 00:04:08,220

of flame retardant as

far as we see it moving.

71

00:04:08,220 –> 00:04:10,170

So beginning of the bottom left-hand side

72

00:04:10,170 –> 00:04:13,350

you have the Brominated technologies

73

00:04:13,350 –> 00:04:17,590

and that’s commonly used in

FR ABSs, which contain things

74

00:04:18,520 –> 00:04:19,353

like TBBA.

75

00:04:19,353 –> 00:04:21,351

Moving on to the middle

section there, the amber,

76

00:04:21,351 –> 00:04:24,933

that is more like your FR PC/ABS

technologies, which are more

77

00:04:24,933 –> 00:04:29,933

of a liquid non-halogenated

type of FR package.

78

00:04:30,150 –> 00:04:31,860

And then moving us on to the top,

79

00:04:31,860 –> 00:04:33,810

which is what we consider in the future

80

00:04:34,858 –> 00:04:37,080

which is polyphosphonate

co-carbonate technology.

81

00:04:37,080 –> 00:04:38,520

And this brings us on

82

00:04:38,520 –> 00:04:40,500

to what we’re going to discuss

a little bit later on

83

00:04:40,500 –> 00:04:44,310

about how we’ve got about

developing something to

84

00:04:44,310 –> 00:04:47,297

meet this new standard

that we feel is the future.

85

00:04:50,280 –> 00:04:54,490

– So, as I mentioned before, the ECHA is

86

00:04:55,410 –> 00:05:00,410

has already now set out a

roadmap for a complete ban

87

00:05:01,860 –> 00:05:05,193

on these quite toxic flame retardants.

88

00:05:06,604 –> 00:05:08,790

You can access these websites yourself

89

00:05:08,790 –> 00:05:11,220

you don’t need it even to,

to log in and register.

90

00:05:11,220 –> 00:05:15,180

You can have a look at this

information for yourselves.

91

00:05:15,180 –> 00:05:17,190

It’s not just in Europe,

92

00:05:17,190 –> 00:05:20,700

these bans are taking

place in the United States,

93

00:05:20,700 –> 00:05:22,680

particularly in New York and Washington.

94

00:05:22,680 –> 00:05:25,770

They are; they’ve now banned the use

95

00:05:25,770 –> 00:05:27,660

of flame retardant ABS in,

96

00:05:27,660 –> 00:05:32,499

for example, the TV bezels, or

all TV monitors, TV screens,

97

00:05:32,499 –> 00:05:37,499

they’ll no longer allow flame

retardant ABS to be used.

98

00:05:38,100 –> 00:05:41,310

The medical industry has

also tried to remove a lot

99

00:05:41,310 –> 00:05:45,630

of flame retardants from

their devices as well.

100

00:05:45,630 –> 00:05:48,760

And the reason for that is this quite

101

00:05:50,010 –> 00:05:54,930

important study that was

done by Brunel University.

102

00:05:54,930 –> 00:05:58,860

So the, the chemicals

that are being used are

103

00:05:58,860 –> 00:06:01,590

tending to leach out of the materials

104

00:06:01,590 –> 00:06:06,000

and they’re giving this

problem of endocrine disruption

105

00:06:06,000 –> 00:06:11,000

which is just basically

disrupting the, the balance of the

106

00:06:11,067 –> 00:06:13,110

the hormones within the human body.

107

00:06:13,110 –> 00:06:16,380

And second that we’re

becoming increasingly

108

00:06:16,380 –> 00:06:17,380

more concerned about

109

00:06:21,498 –> 00:06:22,331

(chuckling)

110

00:06:22,331 –> 00:06:23,817

– I’m not sure what’s

happened to the text there

111

00:06:23,817 –> 00:06:26,400

but this brings us on to the topic

112

00:06:26,400 –> 00:06:28,260

of our presentation,

which is Flame Retardants:

113

00:06:28,260 –> 00:06:30,300

A Changing Landscape.

114

00:06:30,300 –> 00:06:32,700

So flame retardants and thermoplastics,

115

00:06:32,700 –> 00:06:33,750

there are growing health

116

00:06:33,750 –> 00:06:36,420

concerns regarding the

toxicity of flame retardants

117

00:06:36,420 –> 00:06:37,560

in polymers.

118

00:06:37,560 –> 00:06:38,940

As Richard mentioned earlier

119

00:06:38,940 –> 00:06:41,790

the ECHA has now added the

most widely flame retardant

120

00:06:41,790 –> 00:06:45,840

type packages to the list of

their substances of concern,

121

00:06:45,840 –> 00:06:47,883

known as the CORAP list.

122

00:06:49,145 –> 00:06:52,062

(background noise)

123

00:06:55,050 –> 00:06:55,883

– As I mentioned before,

124

00:06:55,883 –> 00:06:57,630

you can download this information

125

00:06:57,630 –> 00:07:00,030

you can; you can research

this for you for yourself.

126

00:07:00,030 –> 00:07:04,110

So this is taken directly

from the ECHA website.

127

00:07:04,110 –> 00:07:06,779

You know, they, they’re

clearly saying here

128

00:07:06,779 –> 00:07:10,291

that these compounds that

are used within the current flame

129

00:07:10,291 –> 00:07:15,270

retardant ABS technology

are causing cancer.

130

00:07:15,270 –> 00:07:19,350

They’re persistent, they

accumulate within the body,

131

00:07:19,350 –> 00:07:23,360

and they’re suspected of,

of causing an endocrine

132

00:07:23,360 –> 00:07:24,390

disruption.

133

00:07:24,390 –> 00:07:28,593

So they really are quite

toxic, nasty chemicals.

134

00:07:31,200 –> 00:07:33,330

– So, the natural progression from,

135

00:07:33,330 –> 00:07:34,530

as we mentioned earlier

136

00:07:34,530 –> 00:07:39,530

in the evolution slide is FR

PC/ABS the natural evolution

137

00:07:39,559 –> 00:07:40,923

from FR ABS technologies.

138

00:07:43,171 –> 00:07:44,333

Although they are similar,

139

00:07:45,528 –> 00:07:49,350

and they are very much

under scrutiny for the fact

140

00:07:49,350 –> 00:07:53,310

that the chemicals

within FR PC/ABS are most

141

00:07:53,310 –> 00:07:56,580

widely known now for endocrine disruption.

142

00:07:56,580 –> 00:08:01,110

So, although it is a

non-halogenated liquid

143

00:08:01,110 –> 00:08:03,960

of sorts, it’s now under

scrutiny for the endocrine

144

00:08:03,960 –> 00:08:05,975

disrupting properties.

145

00:08:05,975 –> 00:08:08,520

(background noise)

146

00:08:08,520 –> 00:08:13,520

– Yeah, and again, for

the, for PC/ABS and PC/ASA,

147

00:08:14,670 –> 00:08:19,380

you can see the chemicals that

are being investigated, there

148

00:08:19,380 –> 00:08:22,320

again from the ECHA website.

149

00:08:22,320 –> 00:08:26,910

Not quite as bad as the

halogenated systems in ABS,

150

00:08:26,910 –> 00:08:31,910

but even these chemicals

are causing disruption

151

00:08:32,430 –> 00:08:34,530

within the human body.

152

00:08:34,530 –> 00:08:38,220

So we’re still not in a, in a great place

153

00:08:38,220 –> 00:08:41,255

and that’s why we’ve tried to continue

154

00:08:41,255 –> 00:08:44,640

and expand our technology to try

155

00:08:44,640 –> 00:08:49,640

and find a better way and

less toxic substance to get

156

00:08:50,820 –> 00:08:53,793

the flame retardancy that, we require.

157

00:08:55,260 –> 00:08:57,580

– It’s not all doom and gloom.

158

00:08:57,580 –> 00:08:58,826

(laughter)

159

00:08:58,826 –> 00:09:02,190

Introducing Notoxicom®

superior halogen-free

160

00:09:02,190 –> 00:09:06,390

flame retardancy, non-migratory

chemicals that do not

161

00:09:06,390 –> 00:09:08,880

bioaccumulate in the body,

162

00:09:08,880 –> 00:09:10,171

and a more favourable toxicity profile,

163

00:09:10,171 –> 00:09:13,920

with an outstanding balance of thermal

164

00:09:13,920 –> 00:09:16,953

and mechanical properties

with lightweight in gains.

165

00:09:18,488 –> 00:09:20,940

(background noise)

166

00:09:20,940 –> 00:09:21,773

– You know so,

167

00:09:21,773 –> 00:09:26,773

Notoxicom® is a trade name

that we have registered for

168

00:09:26,820 –> 00:09:30,973

for this product and, and

basically, what we’re doing is

169

00:09:30,973 –> 00:09:34,833

taking this polymer called

Polyphosphate co carbonate

170

00:09:37,191 –> 00:09:41,580

which is inherently flame

retardant material, blending

171

00:09:41,580 –> 00:09:45,180

that into our, our existing

PC/ABS formulations to

172

00:09:45,180 –> 00:09:50,180

make a really good flame

retardant PC/ABS that, yeah

173

00:09:52,200 –> 00:09:54,750

doesn’t have any impact on the human body.

174

00:09:54,750 –> 00:09:57,420

It’s, it’s one of the

lowest toxicity types

175

00:09:57,420 –> 00:10:02,288

of materials that we can

use and it’s, it really is a

176

00:10:02,288 –> 00:10:03,798

a game of trying to

177

00:10:03,798 –> 00:10:08,100

trying to match the performance

of the existing technology

178

00:10:08,100 –> 00:10:12,303

without having all these

toxic health concerns.

179

00:10:14,910 –> 00:10:17,580

So this chart is a little

bit complicated, but

180

00:10:17,580 –> 00:10:21,150

on the right-hand side is,

you know, the halogenated

181

00:10:21,150 –> 00:10:24,270

flame retardant systems that

we’re trying to move away from.

182

00:10:24,270 –> 00:10:26,910

On the left-hand side is this phosphor

183

00:10:26,910 –> 00:10:31,649

based technology that is a lot less toxic

184

00:10:31,649 –> 00:10:33,660

but particularly in the top left

185

00:10:33,660 –> 00:10:36,060

what we’re trying to do

is just move to that area,

186

00:10:36,060 –> 00:10:41,060

where we have not only a

phosphorous flame retardant system,

187

00:10:41,220 –> 00:10:44,653

but a polymeric-based system.

188

00:10:44,653 –> 00:10:47,100

So the chemicals of the, these

189

00:10:47,100 –> 00:10:49,850

are bound within a polymer matrix,

190

00:10:52,250 –> 00:10:55,473

it’s far less able to

migrate out the host plastic.

191

00:10:56,310 –> 00:10:59,853

It’s far less toxic, doesn’t

accumulate within the body,

192

00:11:01,020 –> 00:11:03,480

but still very easy to to process

193

00:11:03,480 –> 00:11:06,153

in terms of injection

moulding or extrusion.

194

00:11:07,470 –> 00:11:09,240

– So now we’re just going to go

195

00:11:09,240 –> 00:11:11,280

onto a little bit of information,

196

00:11:11,280 –> 00:11:13,953

regarding smoke inhalation statistics.

197

00:11:15,561 –> 00:11:17,010

So the number one cause of death

198

00:11:17,010 –> 00:11:21,030

within a fire is smoke

inhalation with an estimated

199

00:11:21,030 –> 00:11:26,010

50% to 80% of all deaths

linked directly to the intake

200

00:11:26,010 –> 00:11:26,952

of smoke.

201

00:11:26,952 –> 00:11:29,730

In sufficiently high concentrations,

202

00:11:29,730 –> 00:11:31,770

smoke creates hazardous health conditions

203

00:11:31,770 –> 00:11:33,333

for people exposed to it.

204

00:11:35,138 –> 00:11:38,055

(background noise)

205

00:11:39,420 –> 00:11:42,879

So this is nicely rounded

up by this slide here,

206

00:11:42,879 –> 00:11:46,170

which represents Notoxicom® being tested

207

00:11:46,170 –> 00:11:51,170

under stringent aviation testing

for use within aeroplanes.

208

00:11:51,840 –> 00:11:56,840

So as you can see from the

bottom of the, the chart there,

209

00:11:57,150 –> 00:12:00,050

bottom of in the next to the

green box with the yes in it,

210

00:12:01,458 –> 00:12:03,330

Notoxicom® is well below

the minimum requirements

211

00:12:03,330 –> 00:12:06,060

needed to pass stringent aviation testing.

212

00:12:06,060 –> 00:12:09,963

This is like a low smoke

toxicity testing report.

213

00:12:10,950 –> 00:12:13,400

Which shows that it’s well

below what’s required.

214

00:12:15,300 –> 00:12:20,100

– So not only is the

smoke less toxic when the

215

00:12:20,100 –> 00:12:24,513

when the product does come

into contact with a flame,

216

00:12:25,590 –> 00:12:30,590

we also found that we can

have the no drop in heat

217

00:12:31,920 –> 00:12:35,430

and strength performance of

the, of the PC/ABS material.

218

00:12:35,430 –> 00:12:37,920

So quite often, when you

add the chemicals to

219

00:12:37,920 –> 00:12:40,560

improve flame retardancy

so you get a drop, you know

220

00:12:40,560 –> 00:12:44,510

the heat or strength of

the, of the polymer matrix.

221

00:12:47,010 –> 00:12:50,460

We also found that we can

offer a slightly lower density.

222

00:12:50,460 –> 00:12:54,900

So this, because it’s just a polymeric mix,

223

00:12:54,900 –> 00:12:57,810

it’s not got any of the high density

224

00:12:57,810 –> 00:12:59,883

flame retardant chemicals in there.

225

00:13:01,590 –> 00:13:04,500

Processing fumes or moulders

are telling those, you know

226

00:13:04,500 –> 00:13:06,742

the stuff doesn’t smell.

227

00:13:06,742 –> 00:13:10,950

If anybody’s ever

processed any FR ABS before

228

00:13:10,950 –> 00:13:14,130

and maybe leave it in the

in the barrel for too long.

229

00:13:14,130 –> 00:13:16,860

You certainly know about

it, it smells quite,

230

00:13:16,860 –> 00:13:18,060

quite bad.

231

00:13:18,060 –> 00:13:22,440

But we have very low fumes

coming off when we’re processing.

232

00:13:22,440 –> 00:13:24,814

As James has mentioned, we have also done

233

00:13:24,814 –> 00:13:28,650

with ABD-0031 aircraft test,

234

00:13:28,650 –> 00:13:33,650

which is very stringent,

fire smoke and toxicity test.

235

00:13:35,276 –> 00:13:37,800

And it’s also been listed officially,

236

00:13:37,800 –> 00:13:40,500

on the ChemSec website as you know

237

00:13:40,500 –> 00:13:45,500

viable alternative to

existing FR PC/ABS materials.

238

00:13:49,590 –> 00:13:53,703

– So this is an example of a

current customer of Notoxicom®.

239

00:13:54,735 –> 00:13:59,040

So the product manager,

Martin Zilvold is very happy

240

00:13:59,040 –> 00:14:01,410

with the greener

credentials of the material.

241

00:14:01,410 –> 00:14:04,725

One of which being the fact

that they’ve been able to

242

00:14:04,725 –> 00:14:08,580

drop one of the ‘hot runners

within their moulding system.

243

00:14:08,580 –> 00:14:10,950

So this material runs really well

244

00:14:10,950 –> 00:14:15,121

with one ‘hot runner, and yeah.

245

00:14:15,121 –> 00:14:18,375

And this is a lithium iron

battery, I must mention that.

246

00:14:18,375 –> 00:14:20,542

(chuckle)

247

00:14:24,367 –> 00:14:26,370

– So there’s a QR code you can actually,

248

00:14:26,370 –> 00:14:28,350

should be able to scan

that, and you can directly

249

00:14:28,350 –> 00:14:30,960

access the, the data sheet.

250

00:14:30,960 –> 00:14:34,119

So B6000 is just our grade name

251

00:14:34,119 –> 00:14:37,825

for this particular

flame retardant, PC/ABS.

252

00:14:37,825 –> 00:14:40,174

But generally, you know

253

00:14:40,174 –> 00:14:43,080

we’ve got a really well

rounded property profile.

254

00:14:43,080 –> 00:14:44,130

It’s got great flow,

255

00:14:44,130 –> 00:14:47,250

it processes well. Heat performance

256

00:14:47,250 –> 00:14:48,720

and impact are comparable

257

00:14:48,720 –> 00:14:53,720

to the the existing, more toxic

flame retardant materials.

258

00:14:56,850 –> 00:14:57,683

We have the,

259

00:14:57,683 –> 00:15:02,490

the V0 rating, goes

down as far as 0.8 millimeters.

260

00:15:02,490 –> 00:15:06,240

Good glow wire flammability 960 °C.

261

00:15:06,240 –> 00:15:08,880

So again, things like

electrically enclosed would,

262

00:15:08,880 –> 00:15:11,310

would typically need these sorts

263

00:15:11,310 –> 00:15:15,363

of heat and flammability specifications.

264

00:15:16,230 –> 00:15:18,003

Slight density saving,

265

00:15:18,930 –> 00:15:22,653

but you know, generally are

really well-rounded product.

266

00:15:25,320 –> 00:15:29,310

– So Notoxicom® B6000 was tested

267

00:15:29,310 –> 00:15:31,500

under lab conditions

to see how it compares

268

00:15:31,500 –> 00:15:34,240

to standard FR PC/ABS technologies

269

00:15:36,461 –> 00:15:39,143

under both glow wire and

comparative index tracking.

270

00:15:40,800 –> 00:15:44,610

The data shows that

Notoxicom® B6000 matched

271

00:15:44,610 –> 00:15:49,610

and it was comparative with a

standard FR PC/ABS technology.

272

00:15:50,957 –> 00:15:52,830

If I bring you on to this slide here,

273

00:15:52,830 –> 00:15:55,230

you can see the sort of difference

274

00:15:55,230 –> 00:15:58,350

in the way that the material

reacts under the testing.

275

00:15:58,350 –> 00:16:01,320

So on the left-hand side is raw specimens.

276

00:16:01,320 –> 00:16:03,060

On the right, on the furthest one

277

00:16:03,060 –> 00:16:04,823

to the right is Notoxicom® B6000.

278

00:16:05,660 –> 00:16:10,410

The one next to it, is the

standard FR PC/ABS technology.

279

00:16:10,410 –> 00:16:12,270

As you can see from sample one

280

00:16:12,270 –> 00:16:15,120

on the right, has a lot less

charing than the one next

281

00:16:15,120 –> 00:16:18,660

to it, and this is down to

the polymeric formula doing

282

00:16:18,660 –> 00:16:20,710

as it should in just acting as a blocker.

283

00:16:23,550 –> 00:16:27,630

– So this chart is just

talking about recycling now

284

00:16:27,630 –> 00:16:32,280

obviously, recycling is

more and more important.

285

00:16:32,280 –> 00:16:34,920

So what we’re looking at

here is, in particular,

286

00:16:34,920 –> 00:16:38,520

the impact performance after recycling.

287

00:16:38,520 –> 00:16:43,520

This is taking the material

and then 100% recycling.

288

00:16:44,220 –> 00:16:46,140

It’s taking a whole lot

289

00:16:46,140 –> 00:16:49,380

re-running up, reprocessing it again.

290

00:16:49,380 –> 00:16:52,350

So our material is of top.

291

00:16:52,350 –> 00:16:56,580

The middle and the bottom

pair of bars are the most

292

00:16:56,580 –> 00:17:01,580

common alternative

PC/ABS materials that are

293

00:17:02,730 –> 00:17:04,920

PC/ABS flame retardant additives

294

00:17:04,920 –> 00:17:06,660

that are used at the moment.

295

00:17:06,660 –> 00:17:10,113

And you can see that the,

the green bar is where we,

296

00:17:12,060 –> 00:17:14,190

sorry, the grey bar is where we start.

297

00:17:14,190 –> 00:17:16,375

We do lose a little bit

after one pass of the

298

00:17:16,375 –> 00:17:19,020

the recycling, that’s what

the green line is showing

299

00:17:19,020 –> 00:17:19,853

you there.

300

00:17:19,853 –> 00:17:22,980

But it was still in a

better position than the,

301

00:17:22,980 –> 00:17:27,980

the alternative, more toxic alternatives.

302

00:17:29,790 –> 00:17:34,790

– So this one here represents

the flame retardancy

303

00:17:34,920 –> 00:17:38,100

after one recycling physical test.

304

00:17:38,100 –> 00:17:42,600

So the, if I draw your

attention to RDP BPA DP,

305

00:17:42,600 –> 00:17:46,590

you can see that both

of those, tested samples

306

00:17:46,590 –> 00:17:49,860

both lose quite a considerable

amount of flame retardancy,

307

00:17:49,860 –> 00:17:51,360

after testing.

308

00:17:51,360 –> 00:17:52,620

And this is down to the fact

309

00:17:52,620 –> 00:17:55,560

that the polymer has the

additive which reaches

310

00:17:55,560 –> 00:17:56,940

out after the recycling,

311

00:17:56,940 –> 00:18:00,780

and that is why they start to

lose their potency over time.

312

00:18:00,780 –> 00:18:03,690

As you can tell, for

B6000, it’s V0 to begin

313

00:18:03,690 –> 00:18:06,570

with, and then it’s V0

after the test as well.

314

00:18:06,570 –> 00:18:08,760

And that’s down to the polymeric formula

315

00:18:08,760 –> 00:18:11,580

with no additives in there,

meaning that it can’t lose

316

00:18:11,580 –> 00:18:15,993

its flame retardancy over

time, it’s self-extinguishing.

317

00:18:19,140 –> 00:18:20,643

And here is a video.

318

00:18:25,200 –> 00:18:26,053

Oh,

319

00:18:30,780 –> 00:18:31,813

Thank you.

320

00:18:31,813 –> 00:18:34,358

(James laughs)

321

00:18:34,358 –> 00:18:37,275

(background noise)

322

00:18:50,730 –> 00:18:51,563

Wonderful.

323

00:18:51,563 –> 00:18:55,383

So the sample on the left

is a standard ABS polymer.

324

00:18:56,400 –> 00:19:00,150

The sample on the right is

a standard FR ABS polymer.

325

00:19:00,150 –> 00:19:03,480

And the sample in the

the middle is our Notoxicon,

326

00:19:03,480 –> 00:19:06,180

which is currently it’s

a black sample there.

327

00:19:06,180 –> 00:19:07,500

However, you get the idea

328

00:19:07,500 –> 00:19:09,460

that the material is self-extinguishing

329

00:19:10,301 –> 00:19:14,065

and just allow flame to

pass higher on the sample.

330

00:19:14,065 –> 00:19:15,750

So on the right can see

the chart that’s moving

331

00:19:15,750 –> 00:19:18,930

up the sample on the

right, and you can see also

332

00:19:18,930 –> 00:19:21,800

the black smoke comes off the FR ABS.

333

00:19:23,101 –> 00:19:25,271

And the sample in the center,

334

00:19:25,271 –> 00:19:26,490

the Notoxicom®,

335

00:19:26,490 –> 00:19:27,630

the smoke is a lot cleaner,

336

00:19:27,630 –> 00:19:28,830

it’s a little bit whiter.

337

00:19:31,020 –> 00:19:32,572

And it just retracts slightly.

338

00:19:32,572 –> 00:19:33,540

(James laughs)

339

00:19:33,540 –> 00:19:35,390

As it is self-extinguishing material.

340

00:19:42,855 –> 00:19:44,910

– If  you can return us to

the presentation, thanks.

341

00:19:44,910 –> 00:19:45,743

– Thank you

342

00:19:48,360 –> 00:19:52,125

Interesting selection of follow-up videos.

343

00:19:52,125 –> 00:19:55,042

(background noise)

344

00:19:57,840 –> 00:20:02,840

– Yeah, so just to, to

summarize and so, chemicals

345

00:20:02,891 –> 00:20:05,730

like TBBA are, are what is

currently used to get the,

346

00:20:05,730 –> 00:20:08,670

the flame retardancy in ABS at the moment.

347

00:20:08,670 –> 00:20:12,690

Yeah, the ECHA states in the US are, are,

348

00:20:12,690 –> 00:20:15,480

are starting to ban those materials now.

349

00:20:15,480 –> 00:20:19,830

So if you’re thinking about

moving them to FR PC/ABS,

350

00:20:19,830 –> 00:20:21,540

yeah, that’s a better situation.

351

00:20:21,540 –> 00:20:26,250

But as you can start to see

those technologies are coming

352

00:20:26,250 –> 00:20:28,336

under increasing scrutiny

353

00:20:28,336 –> 00:20:32,700

and are being more

increasingly investigated

354

00:20:32,700 –> 00:20:36,813

for endocrine disruption

being quite toxic.

355

00:20:37,800 –> 00:20:39,240

So we, we really feel

356

00:20:39,240 –> 00:20:42,663

as though this polyphosphate

co carbonate technology is,

357

00:20:43,520 –> 00:20:44,353

is the future.

358

00:20:44,353 –> 00:20:46,440

So it’s far less toxic.

359

00:20:46,440 –> 00:20:50,520

We can meet all the usual impact,

360

00:20:50,520 –> 00:20:55,260

FR flow sort of forms characteristics.

361

00:20:55,260 –> 00:20:59,160

To get this really nice

rounded property profile for

362

00:20:59,160 –> 00:21:00,513

FR PC/ABS material.

363

00:21:01,355 –> 00:21:04,272

(background noise)

364

00:21:06,120 –> 00:21:08,410

– So let’s start the conversation together

365

00:21:09,259 –> 00:21:10,509

with pending legislation.

366

00:21:11,670 –> 00:21:14,220

Are you planning for a greener future?

367

00:21:14,220 –> 00:21:16,260

There are real alternatives,

368

00:21:16,260 –> 00:21:18,660

real alternative solutions available,

369

00:21:18,660 –> 00:21:21,393

and we are ready to support

your future developments.

370

00:21:27,360 –> 00:21:31,161

We’d just like to take a second,

just to thank our partners.

371

00:21:31,161 –> 00:21:35,062

So we’ve got to thank our PCL team, FRX.

372

00:21:35,062 –> 00:21:37,320

Some special mentions are FRX Innovations,

373

00:21:37,320 –> 00:21:39,458

who are on the left there.

374

00:21:39,458 –> 00:21:42,990

We got Super B, Kedu Polymers,

who is currently we’re here

375

00:21:42,990 –> 00:21:46,110

with today at Stand 351.

376

00:21:46,110 –> 00:21:47,310

Intertech, who helped

377

00:21:47,310 –> 00:21:49,680

with a lot of the development testing.

378

00:21:49,680 –> 00:21:54,540

And of course, Klein Mechaniek

BV, who are also here today.

379

00:21:54,540 –> 00:21:56,730

And they helped us

380

00:21:56,730 –> 00:22:00,153

with the injection moulding

aspect of the Notoxicom® B6000.

381

00:22:03,210 –> 00:22:04,810

– Yeah, so thank you once again.

382

00:22:10,028 –> 00:22:15,028

– Thank you, gentlemen.

383

00:22:15,217 –> 00:22:16,967

Thank you for your…

384

00:22:17,995 –> 00:22:19,493

Your attention here.

385

00:22:19,493 –> 00:22:23,200

I, I assume that the

presentation is available

386

00:22:23,200 –> 00:22:25,623

on the micro center site?

387

00:22:26,466 –> 00:22:27,299

– Yes.

388

00:22:27,299 –> 00:22:30,660

– You took pictures. It’s

also available the site

389

00:22:30,660 –> 00:22:32,040

of micro center.

390

00:22:32,040 –> 00:22:33,243

Yeah. Cool.

391

00:22:34,140 –> 00:22:35,610

Thanks for you.

392

00:22:35,610 –> 00:22:38,494

We are a little bit late for

next one, but I have to thank

393

00:22:38,494 –> 00:22:39,952

you

394

00:22:39,952 –> 00:22:40,952

– Thank you.

395

00:22:41,926 –> 00:22:46,926

– Just have a

question…(speaking distinctly)

396

00:22:49,359 –> 00:22:52,859

(background noise begins)

397

00:22:54,742 –> 00:22:56,848

– We’re gonna be fine though

398

00:22:56,848 –> 00:22:59,098

(laughter)

399

00:22:59,933 –> 00:23:03,683

(background noise continues)

1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:01,530

• Goedemiddag, iedereen. Welkom.

2
00:00:01,530 –> 00:00:03,177
Ik ben James, en dit is Richard.

3
00:00:03,177 –> 00:00:05,580
En wij zijn van een bedrijf genaamd
Polymer Compounders Limited.

4
00:00:05,580 –> 00:00:06,783
Wij zijn gevestigd in de UK.

5
00:00:08,877 –> 00:00:12,450
En we zijn voor het eerst opgericht in 1993.

6
00:00:12,450 –> 00:00:15,210
Wij zijn een specialist
thermoplastische compounder

7
00:00:15,210 –> 00:00:17,670
gespecialiseerd in ABS compounds,

8
00:00:17,670 –> 00:00:22,650
Polycarbonaat, ASA’s, PC-ABS legering mengsels,

9
00:00:22,650 –> 00:00:24,810
en PC/ASA legering mengsels.

10
00:00:24,810 –> 00:00:27,150
We zijn ook het meest bekend voor

11
00:00:27,150 –> 00:00:30,873
het omgaan met grote OEM’s
zoals Renault en Nissan.

12
00:00:34,860 –> 00:00:36,240

• Dus ja, het onderwerp

13
00:00:36,240 –> 00:00:39,955
van de presentaties van vandaag
allemaal over vlamvertragers.

14
00:00:39,955 –> 00:00:43,260
Dus als een compounder,
een van de makkelijkste banen

15
00:00:43,260 –> 00:00:44,696
is gewoon pigmenten toevoegen

16
00:00:44,696 –> 00:00:48,400
bijvoorbeeld in onze
thermoplastische materialen.

17
00:00:48,400 –> 00:00:51,857
Wat sommige van de meer
spannend spul is, weet je

18
00:00:51,857 –> 00:00:56,857
geleidende additieven en of
antistatische of vlamvertragende middelen.

19
00:00:57,540 –> 00:01:01,410
Zo, dus dat is het, het onderwerp

20
00:01:01,410 –> 00:01:04,356
van de presentatie van vandaag.

21
00:01:04,356 –> 00:01:09,270
de toekomst van vlamvertragers
brandvertragers.

22
00:01:09,270 –> 00:01:12,787
We zullen misschien alleen maar
een paar van de basisprincipes

23
00:01:12,787 –> 00:01:17,787
in termen van waar we het over hebben
over brandvertragers.

24
00:01:18,415 –> 00:01:19,248
Dus vlamvertragers

25
00:01:19,248 –> 00:01:23,647
is voor ons echt proberen om
te voldoen aan de U-94 specificaties.

26
00:01:26,070 –> 00:01:30,600
Meestal zijn het V-classificaties.

27
00:01:30,600 –> 00:01:34,170
Dus dat kan van alles zijn
van een V nul of V1 of V2.

28
00:01:34,170 –> 00:01:37,020
Maar in het bijzonder, op het moment
op dit moment waar het ons betreft

29
00:01:37,020 –> 00:01:39,420
de meest voorkomende echt voor dingen

30
00:01:39,420 –> 00:01:43,650
zoals elektrische behuizingen
zijn V0 waarden.

31
00:01:43,650 –> 00:01:47,340
En meestal is het iets van
zoals 1,5 millimeter.

32
00:01:47,340 –> 00:01:50,118
En om dat V0 cijfer te halen,

33
00:01:50,118 –> 00:01:53,940
moet je echt een zelfdovend
zelfdovend deel hebben.

34
00:01:53,940 –> 00:01:56,250
Dat betekent dat het zichzelf dooft

35
00:01:56,250 –> 00:02:00,210
binnen 10 seconden en er zijn
geen brandende druppels

36
00:02:00,210 –> 00:02:03,273
voor het materiaal wanneer het,
wanneer het is ontstoken.

37
00:02:06,510 –> 00:02:07,390
Dus

38
00:02:09,030 –> 00:02:09,990
Het landschap voor

39
00:02:09,990 –> 00:02:12,723
voor brandvertragers is
op dit moment echt aan het veranderen.

40
00:02:14,100 –> 00:02:19,100
Als we kijken naar een typisch
brandvertragend ABS materiaal

41
00:02:20,589 –> 00:02:22,620
dus een heel gebruikelijk materiaal
dat je kunt hebben

42
00:02:22,620 –> 00:02:23,453
in uw eigen huis,

43
00:02:23,453 –> 00:02:27,720
wordt het vaak gevonden in
dingen zoals wasdrogers

44
00:02:27,720 –> 00:02:32,720
en andere hoge hitte, elektrische
apparaten in huis.

45
00:02:33,120 –> 00:02:37,260
Dus deze, de enige manier waarop je
een vlamvertragende ABS kunt krijgen

46
00:02:37,260 –> 00:02:39,300
om aan dit V0 voorschrift te voldoen

47
00:02:39,300 –> 00:02:43,740
op dit moment is het gebruik van
gehalogeneerde vlamvertragers te gebruiken.

48
00:02:43,740 –> 00:02:46,410
Dan weten we allemaal en kunnen we het erover eens zijn dat, ja

49
00:02:46,410 –> 00:02:49,320
we het gebruik van deze
gehalogeneerde systemen.

50
00:02:49,320 –> 00:02:52,473
Dat is, dat is de manier waarop we
moeten gaan.

51
00:02:53,940 –> 00:02:58,088
Echter, de ECHA, een
Europees chemisch agentschap zijn

52
00:02:58,088 –> 00:03:01,320
besluiten nu dat
ze gaan alleen verbieden

53
00:03:01,320 –> 00:03:05,489
ongeveer elke chemische stof die
gebruikt kan worden om dit soort

54
00:03:05,489 –> 00:03:06,963
van ABS materialen.

55
00:03:07,800 –> 00:03:09,450
Dus dat cre�ert echt een probleem

56
00:03:09,450 –> 00:03:11,866
voor de spuitgietindustrie

57
00:03:11,866 –> 00:03:14,832
en bepaalde chemische leveranciers.

58
00:03:14,832 –> 00:03:19,530
Dus de volgende stap voor
een ingenieur misschien te kijken

59
00:03:19,530 –> 00:03:23,280
naar zoiets als een FR PC/ABS

60
00:03:23,280 –> 00:03:28,003
want als je het
polycarbonaat aan het ABS mengsel hebt toegevoegd

61
00:03:28,003 –> 00:03:32,302
geef je een beetje
meer vlamvertraging,

62
00:03:32,302 –> 00:03:35,640
en dat betekent dat we
een FR PC/ABS dat voldoet aan de V

63
00:03:35,640 –> 00:03:38,625
nul regeling zonder gebruik van halogenen,

64
00:03:38,625 –> 00:03:41,250
die chemicali�n komen nu

65
00:03:41,250 –> 00:03:43,293
onder toenemende bezorgdheid.

66
00:03:45,068 –> 00:03:50,068
Dus de giftigheid is, wordt
een echt probleem voor deze

67
00:03:53,544 –> 00:03:54,377
voor zowat elke vlamvertrager

68
00:03:54,377 –> 00:03:58,443
dat wordt gebruikt in ABS en
PC/ABS op dit moment.

69
00:04:00,150 –> 00:04:03,750

• Ja, dus dit brengt ons
  ons op de evolutie

70
00:04:03,750 –> 00:04:08,220
van brandvertragende middelen
voor zover we het zien bewegen.

71
00:04:08,220 –> 00:04:10,170
Dus begin van de onderkant links

72
00:04:10,170 –> 00:04:13,350
heb je de gebromde technologie�n

73
00:04:13,350 –> 00:04:17,590
en dat wordt vaak gebruikt in
FR ABS, die dingen bevatten

74
00:04:18,520 –> 00:04:19,353
zoals TBBA.

75
00:04:19,353 –> 00:04:21,351
Verder naar de middelste
sectie daar, de amber,

76
00:04:21,351 –> 00:04:24,933
dat is meer zoals uw FR PC/ABS
technologie�n, die meer

77
00:04:24,933 –> 00:04:29,933
van een vloeibare niet-gehalogeneerde
type FR pakket.

78
00:04:30,150 –> 00:04:31,860
En dan verder naar boven,

79
00:04:31,860 –> 00:04:33,810
dat is wat we in de toekomst beschouwen

80
00:04:34,858 –> 00:04:37,080
dat is polyfosfonaat
co-carbonaat technologie.

81
00:04:37,080 –> 00:04:38,520
En dit brengt ons op

82
00:04:38,520 –> 00:04:40,500
naar wat we gaan bespreken
een beetje later

83
00:04:40,500 –> 00:04:44,310
over hoe we iets
iets ontwikkelen om

84
00:04:44,310 –> 00:04:47,297
aan deze nieuwe standaard te voldoen
waarvan wij denken dat het de toekomst is.

85
00:04:50,280 –> 00:04:54,490

• Dus, zoals ik al eerder zei, het ECHA is

86
00:04:55,410 –> 00:05:00,410
heeft nu al een
routekaart voor een volledig verbod

87
00:05:01,860 –> 00:05:05,193
op deze zeer giftige brandvertragers.

88
00:05:06,604 –> 00:05:08,790
U kunt deze websites zelf bezoeken

89
00:05:08,790 –> 00:05:11,220
je hebt het niet eens nodig om,
om in te loggen en te registreren.

90
00:05:11,220 –> 00:05:15,180
Jullie kunnen deze informatie
informatie voor jezelf.

91
00:05:15,180 –> 00:05:17,190
Het is niet alleen in Europa,

92
00:05:17,190 –> 00:05:20,700
deze verboden vinden plaats
in de Verenigde Staten,

93
00:05:20,700 –> 00:05:22,680
vooral in New York en Washington.

94
00:05:22,680 –> 00:05:25,770
Dat zijn ze; ze hebben nu het gebruik verboden

95
00:05:25,770 –> 00:05:27,660
van brandvertragende ABS in,

96
00:05:27,660 –> 00:05:32,499
bijvoorbeeld de TV-behuizingen, of
alle TV monitoren, TV schermen,

97
00:05:32,499 –> 00:05:37,499
ze zullen niet langer toestaan dat
brandvertragende ABS gebruiken.

98
00:05:38,100 –> 00:05:41,310
De medische industrie heeft
ook geprobeerd veel te verwijderen

99
00:05:41,310 –> 00:05:45,630
vlamvertragers te verwijderen
hun apparaten.

100
00:05:45,630 –> 00:05:48,760
En de reden daarvoor is dit nogal

101
00:05:50,010 –> 00:05:54,930
belangrijke studie die werd
gedaan door de Brunel Universiteit.

102
00:05:54,930 –> 00:05:58,860
Dus de, de chemicali�n
die gebruikt worden zijn

103
00:05:58,860 –> 00:06:01,590
hebben de neiging om uit de materialen te lekken

104
00:06:01,590 –> 00:06:06,000
en ze geven dit
probleem van hormoonontregeling

105
00:06:06,000 –> 00:06:11,000
wat eigenlijk gewoon
het verstoren van het evenwicht van de

106
00:06:11,067 –> 00:06:13,110
de hormonen in het menselijk lichaam.

107
00:06:13,110 –> 00:06:16,380
En ten tweede dat we
steeds meer

108
00:06:16,380 –> 00:06:17,380
meer bezorgd over

109
00:06:21,498 –> 00:06:22,331
(grinnikt)

110
00:06:22,331 –> 00:06:23,817

• Ik weet niet zeker wat er
  gebeurd is met de tekst daar

111
00:06:23,817 –> 00:06:26,400
maar dit brengt ons bij het onderwerp

112
00:06:26,400 –> 00:06:28,260
van onze presentatie,
wat vlamvertragers zijn:

113
00:06:28,260 –> 00:06:30,300
Een veranderend landschap.

114
00:06:30,300 –> 00:06:32,700
Dus vlamvertragers en thermoplasten,

115
00:06:32,700 –> 00:06:33,750
er zijn toenemende gezondheids

116
00:06:33,750 –> 00:06:36,420
bezorgdheid over de
giftigheid van vlamvertragers

117
00:06:36,420 –> 00:06:37,560
in polymeren.

118
00:06:37,560 –> 00:06:38,940
Zoals Richard eerder zei

119
00:06:38,940 –> 00:06:41,790
heeft het ECHA nu de
meest gebruikte vlamvertrager toegevoegd

120
00:06:41,790 –> 00:06:45,840
type verpakkingen toegevoegd aan de lijst van
hun zorgwekkende stoffen,

121
00:06:45,840 –> 00:06:47,883
bekend als de CORAP-lijst.

122
00:06:49,145 –> 00:06:52,062
(achtergrondgeluid)

123
00:06:55,050 –> 00:06:55,883

• Zoals ik al eerder zei,

124
00:06:55,883 –> 00:06:57,630
kun je deze informatie downloaden

125
00:06:57,630 –> 00:07:00,030
je kunt; je kunt onderzoek doen
dit voor jezelf.

126
00:07:00,030 –> 00:07:04,110
Dus dit komt rechtstreeks
van de ECHA website.

127
00:07:04,110 –> 00:07:06,779
Weet je, ze, ze zijn
duidelijk hier

128
00:07:06,779 –> 00:07:10,291
dat deze verbindingen die
worden gebruikt binnen de huidige vlam

129
00:07:10,291 –> 00:07:15,270
vertragende ABS technologie
kanker veroorzaken.

130
00:07:15,270 –> 00:07:19,350
Ze zijn hardnekkig, ze
stapelen zich op in het lichaam,

131
00:07:19,350 –> 00:07:23,360
en ze worden verdacht van,
van het veroorzaken van een endocriene

132
00:07:23,360 –> 00:07:24,390
verstoring.

133
00:07:24,390 –> 00:07:28,593
Dus het zijn echt heel
giftige, vervelende chemicali�n.

134
00:07:31,200 –> 00:07:33,330

• Dus, de natuurlijke progressie van,

135
00:07:33,330 –> 00:07:34,530
zoals we eerder vermeldden

136
00:07:34,530 –> 00:07:39,530
in de evolutie dia is FR
PC/ABS de natuurlijke evolutie

137
00:07:39,559 –> 00:07:40,923
van FR ABS technologie�n.

138
00:07:43,171 –> 00:07:44,333
Hoewel ze vergelijkbaar zijn,

139
00:07:45,528 –> 00:07:49,350
en ze zijn zeer
onder de loep voor het feit

140
00:07:49,350 –> 00:07:53,310
dat de chemicali�n
in FR PC/ABS het meest

141
00:07:53,310 –> 00:07:56,580
bekend zijn voor hormoonontregeling.

142
00:07:56,580 –> 00:08:01,110
Dus, hoewel het een
niet-gehalogeneerde vloeistof is

143
00:08:01,110 –> 00:08:03,960
van soorten, is het nu onder
onderzocht voor de endocriene

144
00:08:03,960 –> 00:08:05,975
verstorende eigenschappen.

145
00:08:05,975 –> 00:08:08,520
(achtergrondgeluid)

146
00:08:08,520 –> 00:08:13,520

• Ja, en nogmaals, voor
  de, voor PC/ABS en PC/ASA,

147
00:08:14,670 –> 00:08:19,380
zie je de chemicali�n die
worden onderzocht, er

148
00:08:19,380 –> 00:08:22,320
weer van de ECHA website.

149
00:08:22,320 –> 00:08:26,910
Niet zo slecht als de
gehalogeneerde systemen in ABS,

150
00:08:26,910 –> 00:08:31,910
maar zelfs deze chemicali�n
veroorzaken verstoring

151
00:08:32,430 –> 00:08:34,530
in het menselijk lichaam.

152
00:08:34,530 –> 00:08:38,220
Dus we zijn nog steeds niet op een, op een geweldige plek

153
00:08:38,220 –> 00:08:41,255
en dat is waarom we geprobeerd hebben om door te gaan…

154
00:08:41,255 –> 00:08:44,640
en onze technologie uit te breiden om te proberen

155
00:08:44,640 –> 00:08:49,640
en een betere manier te vinden en
minder giftige stof om

156
00:08:50,820 –> 00:08:53,793
de vlamvertraging te krijgen die we nodig hebben.

157
00:08:55,260 –> 00:08:57,580

• Het is niet allemaal kommer en kwel.

158
00:08:57,580 –> 00:08:58,826
(gelach)

159
00:08:58,826 –> 00:09:02,190
Introductie van Notoxicom�
superieur halogeenvrij

160
00:09:02,190 –> 00:09:06,390
vlamvertraging, niet-migrerende
chemicali�n die niet

161
00:09:06,390 –> 00:09:08,880
bioaccumuleren in het lichaam,

162
00:09:08,880 –> 00:09:10,171
en een gunstiger toxiciteitsprofiel,

163
00:09:10,171 –> 00:09:13,920
met een uitstekende balans van thermische

164
00:09:13,920 –> 00:09:16,953
en mechanische eigenschappen
met lichtgewicht in winst.

165
00:09:18,488 –> 00:09:20,940
(achtergrondgeluiden)

166
00:09:20,940 –> 00:09:21,773

• Je weet wel,

167
00:09:21,773 –> 00:09:26,773
Notoxicom� is een handelsnaam
die we hebben geregistreerd voor

168
00:09:26,820 –> 00:09:30,973
voor dit product en, en
wat we in principe doen is

169
00:09:30,973 –> 00:09:34,833
dit polymeer genaamd
Polyfosfaat co carbonaat

170
00:09:37,191 –> 00:09:41,580
wat inherent vlamvertragend
vertragend materiaal, mengen

171
00:09:41,580 –> 00:09:45,180
in onze bestaande
PC/ABS formuleringen om

172
00:09:45,180 –> 00:09:50,180
een echt goede vlamvertragende
vlamvertragende PC/ABS te maken die, ja…

173
00:09:52,200 –> 00:09:54,750
geen invloed heeft op het menselijk lichaam.

174
00:09:54,750 –> 00:09:57,420
Het is, het is een van de
laagste toxiciteit soorten

175
00:09:57,420 –> 00:10:02,288
van materialen die we kunnen
gebruiken en het is, het is echt een

176
00:10:02,288 –> 00:10:03,798
een spel van proberen om

177
00:10:03,798 –> 00:10:08,100
proberen de prestaties te evenaren
van de bestaande technologie

178
00:10:08,100 –> 00:10:12,303
zonder al deze
giftige gezondheidsproblemen.

179
00:10:14,910 –> 00:10:17,580
Dus deze grafiek is een beetje
beetje ingewikkeld, maar

180
00:10:17,580 –> 00:10:21,150
aan de rechterkant is,
je weet wel, de gehalogeneerde

181
00:10:21,150 –> 00:10:24,270
brandvertragende systemen die
waarvan we proberen af te stappen.

182
00:10:24,270 –> 00:10:26,910
Aan de linkerkant staat deze fosfor

183
00:10:26,910 –> 00:10:31,649
gebaseerde technologie die veel minder giftig is

184
00:10:31,649 –> 00:10:33,660
maar vooral linksboven

185
00:10:33,660 –> 00:10:36,060
wat we proberen te doen
is gewoon naar dat gebied gaan,

186
00:10:36,060 –> 00:10:41,060
waar we niet alleen een
fosfor brandvertragend systeem hebben,

187
00:10:41,220 –> 00:10:44,653
maar een op polymeren gebaseerd systeem.

188
00:10:44,653 –> 00:10:47,100
Dus de chemicali�n van de, deze

189
00:10:47,100 –> 00:10:49,850
zijn gebonden in een polymeermatrix,

190
00:10:52,250 –> 00:10:55,473
is het veel minder in staat om
uit het gastheerplastic te migreren.

191
00:10:56,310 –> 00:10:59,853
Het is veel minder giftig, stapelt niet
stapelt zich niet op in het lichaam,

192
00:11:01,020 –> 00:11:03,480
maar nog steeds zeer gemakkelijk te verwerken

193
00:11:03,480 –> 00:11:06,153
in termen van spuitgieten
spuitgieten of extrusie.

194
00:11:07,470 –> 00:11:09,240

• Dus nu gaan we gewoon

195
00:11:09,240 –> 00:11:11,280
naar een beetje informatie,

196
00:11:11,280 –> 00:11:13,953
over rookinhalatie statistieken.

197
00:11:15,561 –> 00:11:17,010
Dus de nummer ��n doodsoorzaak

198
00:11:17,010 –> 00:11:21,030
binnen een brand is rook
inhalatie met een geschatte

199
00:11:21,030 –> 00:11:26,010
50% tot 80% van alle sterfgevallen
direct verbonden met de inname

200
00:11:26,010 –> 00:11:26,952
van rook.

201
00:11:26,952 –> 00:11:29,730
In voldoende hoge concentraties,

202
00:11:29,730 –> 00:11:31,770
rook gevaarlijke gezondheidstoestanden

203
00:11:31,770 –> 00:11:33,333
voor mensen die eraan worden blootgesteld.

204
00:11:35,138 –> 00:11:38,055
(achtergrondgeluid)

205
00:11:39,420 –> 00:11:42,879
Dus dit is mooi afgerond
door deze dia hier,

206
00:11:42,879 –> 00:11:46,170
die Notoxicom� voorstelt die wordt getest

207
00:11:46,170 –> 00:11:51,170
onder strenge luchtvaart testen
voor gebruik in vliegtuigen.

208
00:11:51,840 –> 00:11:56,840
Dus zoals je kunt zien aan de
onderkant van de, de grafiek daar,

209
00:11:57,150 –> 00:12:00,050
onderkant van in het naast de
groene vakje met het ja erin,

210
00:12:01,458 –> 00:12:03,330
Notoxicom� zit ruim onder
de minimale vereisten

211
00:12:03,330 –> 00:12:06,060
die nodig zijn om strenge luchtvaarttests te doorstaan.

212
00:12:06,060 –> 00:12:09,963
Dit is als een laag rook
toxiciteit testrapport.

213
00:12:10,950 –> 00:12:13,400
Wat laat zien dat het ruim
onder wat nodig is.

214
00:12:15,300 –> 00:12:20,100

• Dus niet alleen is de
  rook minder giftig als de

215
00:12:20,100 –> 00:12:24,513
wanneer het product in contact komt
in contact komt met een vlam,

216
00:12:25,590 –> 00:12:30,590
vonden we ook dat we
geen warmtedaling hebben

217
00:12:31,920 –> 00:12:35,430
en sterkte prestaties van
van het PC/ABS materiaal.

218
00:12:35,430 –> 00:12:37,920
Dus heel vaak, als je
de chemicali�n toevoegt aan

219
00:12:37,920 –> 00:12:40,560
de vlamvertraging te verbeteren
zodat je een daling krijgt, weet je

220
00:12:40,560 –> 00:12:44,510
de warmte of sterkte van
van de polymeermatrix.

221
00:12:47,010 –> 00:12:50,460
We hebben ook ontdekt dat we
een iets lagere dichtheid kunnen bieden.

222
00:12:50,460 –> 00:12:54,900
Dus dit, omdat het gewoon een polymere mix is,

223
00:12:54,900 –> 00:12:57,810
heeft het geen hoge dichtheid…

224
00:12:57,810 –> 00:12:59,883
brandvertragende chemicali�n.

225
00:13:01,590 –> 00:13:04,500
Verwerkingsrookjes of vormers
vertellen die, je weet wel

226
00:13:04,500 –> 00:13:06,742
dat het spul niet stinkt.

227
00:13:06,742 –> 00:13:10,950
Als iemand ooit
een FR ABS heeft verwerkt

228
00:13:10,950 –> 00:13:14,130
en het misschien te lang in de
in het vat voor te lang.

229
00:13:14,130 –> 00:13:16,860
Je weet zeker
het, het ruikt behoorlijk,

230
00:13:16,860 –> 00:13:18,060
behoorlijk slecht.

231
00:13:18,060 –> 00:13:22,440
Maar we hebben zeer weinig dampen
als we aan het verwerken zijn.

232
00:13:22,440 –> 00:13:24,814
Zoals James al zei, hebben we ook

233
00:13:24,814 –> 00:13:28,650
met ABD-0031 vliegtuigtest,

234
00:13:28,650 –> 00:13:33,650
die zeer streng is,
brand rook en toxiciteit test.

235
00:13:35,276 –> 00:13:37,800
En het is ook officieel genoteerd,

236
00:13:37,800 –> 00:13:40,500
op de ChemSec website zoals je weet

237
00:13:40,500 –> 00:13:45,500
levensvatbaar alternatief voor
bestaande FR PC/ABS materialen.

238
00:13:49,590 –> 00:13:53,703

• Dit is dus een voorbeeld van een
  huidige klant van Notoxicom�.

239
00:13:54,735 –> 00:13:59,040
Dus de product manager,
Martin Zilvold is erg blij

240
00:13:59,040 –> 00:14:01,410
met de groenere
van het materiaal.

241
00:14:01,410 –> 00:14:04,725
Een daarvan is het feit
dat ze in staat zijn geweest om

242
00:14:04,725 –> 00:14:08,580
een van de ‘hot runners’ te laten vallen
binnen hun gietsysteem.

243
00:14:08,580 –> 00:14:10,950
Dus dit materiaal loopt echt goed

244
00:14:10,950 –> 00:14:15,121
met ��n ‘hot runner’, en ja.

245
00:14:15,121 –> 00:14:18,375
En dit is een lithium ijzer
batterij, dat moet ik vermelden.

246
00:14:18,375 –> 00:14:20,542
(grinnikt)

247
00:14:24,367 –> 00:14:26,370

• Dus er is een QR code die je kunt gebruiken,

248
00:14:26,370 –> 00:14:28,350
moet kunnen scannen
dat, en je kunt direct

249
00:14:28,350 –> 00:14:30,960
toegang krijgen tot het gegevensblad.

250
00:14:30,960 –> 00:14:34,119
Dus B6000 is gewoon onze naam.

251
00:14:34,119 –> 00:14:37,825
voor deze specifieke
vlamvertrager, PC/ABS.

252
00:14:37,825 –> 00:14:40,174
Maar in het algemeen, weet je

253
00:14:40,174 –> 00:14:43,080
hebben we een echt goed
afgerond eigendomsprofiel.

254
00:14:43,080 –> 00:14:44,130
Het heeft een goede doorstroming,

255
00:14:44,130 –> 00:14:47,250
het verwerkt goed. Warmte prestaties

256
00:14:47,250 –> 00:14:48,720
en impact zijn vergelijkbaar

257
00:14:48,720 –> 00:14:53,720
met de bestaande, meer giftige
brandvertragende materialen.

258
00:14:56,850 –> 00:14:57,683
We hebben de,

259
00:14:57,683 –> 00:15:02,490
de V0 rating, gaat
tot 0,8 millimeter.

260
00:15:02,490 –> 00:15:06,240
Goede gloeidraad brandbaarheid 960 �C.

261
00:15:06,240 –> 00:15:08,880
Dus nogmaals, dingen als
elektrisch ingesloten zou zijn,

262
00:15:08,880 –> 00:15:11,310
typisch dit soort dingen nodig hebben

263
00:15:11,310 –> 00:15:15,363
van hitte en ontvlambaarheid specificaties.

264
00:15:16,230 –> 00:15:18,003
Lichte dichtheidsbesparing,

265
00:15:18,930 –> 00:15:22,653
maar weet je, over het algemeen zijn
echt goed afgerond product.

266
00:15:25,320 –> 00:15:29,310

• Dus Notoxicom� B6000 werd getest

267
00:15:29,310 –> 00:15:31,500
onder laboratoriumomstandigheden
om te zien hoe het zich verhoudt

268
00:15:31,500 –> 00:15:34,240
met standaard FR PC/ABS technologie�n

269
00:15:36,461 –> 00:15:39,143
onder zowel gloeidraad als
vergelijkende indexering.

270
00:15:40,800 –> 00:15:44,610
Uit de gegevens blijkt dat
Notoxicom� B6000 overeenkomt

271
00:15:44,610 –> 00:15:49,610
en het was vergelijkbaar met een
standaard FR PC/ABS technologie.

272
00:15:50,957 –> 00:15:52,830
Als ik u naar deze dia hier breng,

273
00:15:52,830 –> 00:15:55,230
kun je het soort verschil zien

274
00:15:55,230 –> 00:15:58,350
in de manier waarop het materiaal
reageert tijdens het testen.

275
00:15:58,350 –> 00:16:01,320
Dus aan de linkerkant staan ruwe monsters.

276
00:16:01,320 –> 00:16:03,060
Aan de rechterkant, op de verste

277
00:16:03,060 –> 00:16:04,823
naar rechts is Notoxicom� B6000.

278
00:16:05,660 –> 00:16:10,410
Degene ernaast, is de
standaard FR PC/ABS technologie.

279
00:16:10,410 –> 00:16:12,270
Zoals je kunt zien aan voorbeeld ��n

280
00:16:12,270 –> 00:16:15,120
aan de rechterkant, heeft veel minder
dan de volgende.

281
00:16:15,120 –> 00:16:18,660
en dit komt door
de polymere formule die

282
00:16:18,660 –> 00:16:20,710
zoals het hoort, door als blokkeerder op te treden.

283
00:16:23,550 –> 00:16:27,630

• Dus deze grafiek is gewoon
  praten over recycling nu

284
00:16:27,630 –> 00:16:32,280
Het is duidelijk dat recycling
steeds belangrijker.

285
00:16:32,280 –> 00:16:34,920
Dus waar we naar kijken
hier is, in het bijzonder,

286
00:16:34,920 –> 00:16:38,520
de impact prestaties na recycling.

287
00:16:38,520 –> 00:16:43,520
Dit is het nemen van het materiaal
en dan 100% recycling.

288
00:16:44,220 –> 00:16:46,140
Het neemt een heleboel

289
00:16:46,140 –> 00:16:49,380
opnieuw op, opnieuw verwerken.

290
00:16:49,380 –> 00:16:52,350
Dus ons materiaal is van top.

291
00:16:52,350 –> 00:16:56,580
Het middelste en het onderste
paar staven zijn het meest

292
00:16:56,580 –> 00:17:01,580
gemeenschappelijk alternatief
PC/ABS materialen die

293
00:17:02,730 –> 00:17:04,920
PC/ABS vlamvertragende additieven

294
00:17:04,920 –> 00:17:06,660
die momenteel worden gebruikt.

295
00:17:06,660 –> 00:17:10,113
En je kunt zien dat de,
de groene balk is waar we,

296
00:17:12,060 –> 00:17:14,190
sorry, de grijze balk is waar we beginnen.

297
00:17:14,190 –> 00:17:16,375
We verliezen een beetje
na ��n passage van de

298
00:17:16,375 –> 00:17:19,020
de recycling, dat is wat
de groene lijn laat zien

299
00:17:19,020 –> 00:17:19,853
je daar.

300
00:17:19,853 –> 00:17:22,980
Maar het was nog steeds in een
betere positie dan de,

301
00:17:22,980 –> 00:17:27,980
de alternatieve, meer giftige alternatieven.

302
00:17:29,790 –> 00:17:34,790

• Dus deze hier vertegenwoordigt
  de vlamvertraging

303
00:17:34,920 –> 00:17:38,100
na een recycling fysieke test.

304
00:17:38,100 –> 00:17:42,600
Dus de, als ik uw aandacht vestig
op RDP BPA DP,

305
00:17:42,600 –> 00:17:46,590
kunt u zien dat beide
van deze, geteste monsters

306
00:17:46,590 –> 00:17:49,860
beide een aanzienlijke hoeveelheid
vlamvertraging verliezen,

307
00:17:49,860 –> 00:17:51,360
na het testen.

308
00:17:51,360 –> 00:17:52,620
En dit komt door het feit

309
00:17:52,620 –> 00:17:55,560
dat het polymeer het
additief heeft dat

310
00:17:55,560 –> 00:17:56,940
na de recycling,

311
00:17:56,940 –> 00:18:00,780
en daarom beginnen ze
hun kracht verliezen na verloop van tijd.

312
00:18:00,780 –> 00:18:03,690
Zoals je kunt zien, voor
B6000, is het V0 om te beginnen.

313
00:18:03,690 –> 00:18:06,570
en dan is het V0
na de test.

314
00:18:06,570 –> 00:18:08,760
En dat komt neer op de polymere formule

315
00:18:08,760 –> 00:18:11,580
zonder toevoegingen,
wat betekent dat het niet kan verliezen

316
00:18:11,580 –> 00:18:15,993
zijn vlamvertraging in de tijd
na verloop van tijd, het is zelfdovend.

317
00:18:19,140 –> 00:18:20,643
En hier is een video.

318
00:18:25,200 –> 00:18:26,053
Oh,

319
00:18:30,780 –> 00:18:31,813
Bedankt.

320
00:18:31,813 –> 00:18:34,358
(James lacht)

321
00:18:34,358 –> 00:18:37,275
(achtergrondgeluiden)

322
00:18:50,730 –> 00:18:51,563
Prachtig.

323
00:18:51,563 –> 00:18:55,383
Dus het monster aan de linkerkant
is een standaard ABS polymeer.

324
00:18:56,400 –> 00:19:00,150
Het rechter monster is
een standaard FR ABS polymeer.

325
00:19:00,150 –> 00:19:03,480
En het monster in het
het midden is onze Notoxicon,

326
00:19:03,480 –> 00:19:06,180
wat momenteel
een zwart monster is.

327
00:19:06,180 –> 00:19:07,500
Maar je krijgt het idee

328
00:19:07,500 –> 00:19:09,460
dat het materiaal zelfdovend is

329
00:19:10,301 –> 00:19:14,065
en laat de vlam gewoon
hoger op het monster.

330
00:19:14,065 –> 00:19:15,750
Dus rechts zie je
de grafiek die beweegt

331
00:19:15,750 –> 00:19:18,930
het monster aan de rechterkant
rechts, en je kunt ook zien

332
00:19:18,930 –> 00:19:21,800
de zwarte rook van de FR ABS komt.

333
00:19:23,101 –> 00:19:25,271
En het monster in het midden,

334
00:19:25,271 –> 00:19:26,490
de Notoxicom�,

335
00:19:26,490 –> 00:19:27,630
is de rook een stuk schoner,

336
00:19:27,630 –> 00:19:28,830
het is een beetje witter.

337
00:19:31,020 –> 00:19:32,572
En het trekt gewoon iets in.

338
00:19:32,572 –> 00:19:33,540
(James lacht)

339
00:19:33,540 –> 00:19:35,390
Omdat het zelfdovend materiaal is.

340
00:19:42,855 –> 00:19:44,910

• Als je ons terug kunt brengen naar
  de presentatie, bedankt.

341
00:19:44,910 –> 00:19:45,743

• Bedankt.

342
00:19:48,360 –> 00:19:52,125
Interessante selectie van vervolgvideo’s.

343
00:19:52,125 –> 00:19:55,042
(achtergrondgeluiden)

344
00:19:57,840 –> 00:20:02,840

• Ja, dus gewoon om, om
  samen te vatten en zo, chemicali�n

345
00:20:02,891 –> 00:20:05,730
zoals TBBA zijn, zijn wat
momenteel gebruikt om de,

346
00:20:05,730 –> 00:20:08,670
de vlamvertraging in ABS op dit moment.

347
00:20:08,670 –> 00:20:12,690
Ja, de ECHA stelt in de VS zijn, zijn,

348
00:20:12,690 –> 00:20:15,480
beginnen deze materialen nu te verbieden.

349
00:20:15,480 –> 00:20:19,830
Dus als je erover denkt om
om over te stappen op FR PC/ABS,

350
00:20:19,830 –> 00:20:21,540
ja, dat is een betere situatie.

351
00:20:21,540 –> 00:20:26,250
Maar zoals je kunt zien
die technologie�n komen eraan

352
00:20:26,250 –> 00:20:28,336
onder toenemende controle

353
00:20:28,336 –> 00:20:32,700
en worden meer en meer
steeds meer onderzocht

354
00:20:32,700 –> 00:20:36,813
voor hormoonverstoring
en zijn behoorlijk giftig.

355
00:20:37,800 –> 00:20:39,240
Dus we, we voelen echt

356
00:20:39,240 –> 00:20:42,663
alsof deze polyfosfaat
co carbonaat technologie is,

357
00:20:43,520 –> 00:20:44,353
de toekomst is.

358
00:20:44,353 –> 00:20:46,440
Dus het is veel minder giftig.

359
00:20:46,440 –> 00:20:50,520
We kunnen aan alle gebruikelijke gevolgen voldoen,

360
00:20:50,520 –> 00:20:55,260
FR stroom soort vormen kenmerken.

361
00:20:55,260 –> 00:20:59,160
Om dit echt mooie
afgeronde eigenschappenprofiel voor

362
00:20:59,160 –> 00:21:00,513
FR PC/ABS materiaal.

363
00:21:01,355 –> 00:21:04,272
(achtergrondgeluid)

364
00:21:06,120 –> 00:21:08,410

• Dus laten we samen het gesprek beginnen

365
00:21:09,259 –> 00:21:10,509
met hangende wetgeving.

366
00:21:11,670 –> 00:21:14,220
Heeft u plannen voor een groenere toekomst?

367
00:21:14,220 –> 00:21:16,260
Er zijn echte alternatieven,

368
00:21:16,260 –> 00:21:18,660
echte alternatieve oplossingen beschikbaar,

369
00:21:18,660 –> 00:21:21,393
en we zijn klaar om uw toekomstige
uw toekomstige ontwikkelingen.

370
00:21:27,360 –> 00:21:31,161
We zouden graag een seconde willen nemen,
om onze partners te bedanken.

371
00:21:31,161 –> 00:21:35,062
Dus we moeten ons PCL team bedanken, FRX.

372
00:21:35,062 –> 00:21:37,320
Enkele speciale vermeldingen zijn FRX Innovations,

373
00:21:37,320 –> 00:21:39,458
die daar links staan.

374
00:21:39,458 –> 00:21:42,990
We hebben Super B, Kedu Polymers,
die momenteel hier is

375
00:21:42,990 –> 00:21:46,110
met vandaag op Stand 351.

376
00:21:46,110 –> 00:21:47,310
Intertech, die hielp

377
00:21:47,310 –> 00:21:49,680
met veel van de ontwikkelingstesten.

378
00:21:49,680 –> 00:21:54,540
En natuurlijk, Klein Mechaniek
BV, die hier vandaag ook aanwezig zijn.

379
00:21:54,540 –> 00:21:56,730
En zij hebben ons geholpen

380
00:21:56,730 –> 00:22:00,153
met het spuitgieten
aspect van de Notoxicom� B6000.

381
00:22:03,210 –> 00:22:04,810

• Ja, dus nogmaals bedankt.

382
00:22:10,028 –> 00:22:15,028

• Dank u, heren.

383
00:22:15,217 –> 00:22:16,967
Dank u voor uw…

384
00:22:17,995 –> 00:22:19,493
Uw aandacht hier.

385
00:22:19,493 –> 00:22:23,200
Ik, ik neem aan dat de
presentatie beschikbaar is

386
00:22:23,200 –> 00:22:25,623
op de site van het microcentrum?

387
00:22:26,466 –> 00:22:27,299

• Ja.

388
00:22:27,299 –> 00:22:30,660

• Je hebt foto’s gemaakt. Het is
  ook beschikbaar op de site

389
00:22:30,660 –> 00:22:32,040
van het microcentrum.

390
00:22:32,040 –> 00:22:33,243
Ja. Cool.

391
00:22:34,140 –> 00:22:35,610
Bedankt.

392
00:22:35,610 –> 00:22:38,494
We zijn een beetje laat voor
de volgende, maar ik moet je bedanken

393
00:22:38,494 –> 00:22:39,952
je

394
00:22:39,952 –> 00:22:40,952

• Bedankt.

395
00:22:41,926 –> 00:22:46,926

• Ik heb een
  vraag…

396
00:22:49,359 –> 00:22:52,859
(achtergrondgeluid begint)

397
00:22:54,742 –> 00:22:56,848

• Het komt wel goed met ons.

398
00:22:56,848 –> 00:22:59,098
(gelach)

399
00:22:59,933 –> 00:23:03,683
(achtergrondgeluiden gaan door)
