Two phosphoramidate siloxanes named as DCTES and DPTES with different phosphorus oxidation state were synthesized and their effect on the flame retardancy of PA6 and PET microfiber synthetic leather (PA/MSL, PET/MSL) was investigated via sol-gel surface treatment. It was found that these sol-gel coatings had more efficient towards PET/MSL with higher LOI values than PA/MSL. Moreover, DCTES with high oxidation state significantly decreased the thermal decomposition temperature of MSL and causing more molten-dripping problem with lower LOI value, although its coated MSLs can survive in the vertical flammability test and remained more residues at high temperature.

Rather than waiting until a fire extinguisher is mandated, the BMW Group is already putting one in the trunks of its new cars.
In 2011, nearly 90% of antimony was used as either flame retardants or in lead-acid batteries. However, high prices and technological efficiencies in both flame retardants and lead-acid batteries has meant that demand steadily declined. Estimates suggest antimony’s use as a flame retardant now accounts for approximately half of global demand.
A new type of fully transparent coating could help protect exposed timbers from hot blazes – that is according to Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU), which has developed an ultra-thin fire protection shield that can defend mass-engineered timbers from heavy fire. The new technology has led to developing a fully transparent fire retardant, or FiroShield, now commercialised by Venturer Timberworks, Singapore’s foremost mass timber construction partner – and it promises to protect elements, including cross-laminated timber and glulam, from intense fire.
If you live on an acreage, there\'s a constant risk that your home may be consumed by a brush fire. That\'s where the Blaze Barrier comes in, as it forms a flame-activated fire-retardant boundary line around the user\'s house. Ordinarily, in order to protect a home from an advancing brush fire, firefighters have to dig a dry-vegetation-free trench around the dwelling. Not only does this require a lot of physical effort, it also takes up time that could be spent fighting the fire on other fronts. Described as being "the world\'s first fire-line-in-a-box," the Blaze Barrier is intended to be a user-deployed alternative to such trenches. It was created by Washington-state-based product designer/engineer Jacob Schuler, and is currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign.

Understanding wildfire risk can be complicated. It requires the accounting of many variables that contribute to wildfire behavior, namely terrain, fuels and weather. It also requires land managers to understand all that is at stake across a landscape — homes and communities, roads, powerlines, mature and old-growth forest, wildlife habitat and watersheds among many others.
Wood is becoming increasingly popular again due to an increased environmental awareness. However, wood generally needs protection from a number of external influences such as moisture, UV, stains, and also fire. The latter is a particular challenge for building materials because once ignited, untreated wood usually burns down completely without the need for a continuous external heat supply. We have recently developed a sustainable coating based on polymerised chitosan itaconate, which protects wood against moisture, UV, and stains. Free-standing chitosan itaconate films were now found to be non-flammable and do not melt when exposed to fire.
The following top tips will help you reduce your fire risk this Halloween: Check the labels – those attached to the product should show a CE Mark, which means it complies with EN71-2 and meets the European flammability resistant requirements for toys. You may wish to also look for swing labels which indicate the costume has undergone BRC’s additional tests. It will say “This garment has undergone additional safety testing for flammability” which is reassurance the costume is safer than legally required under EN71-2. Buy from a reputable retailer– cheap or imported costumes may not meet UK safety standards and, at worst, may carry fake safety labelling. Layer up– wear clothes under dressing up costumes, to give a layer of protection between the costume and your skin. This can help protect the skin in the event of a fire incident. Don’t let your child go near any ignition sources – sparklers can burn at up to 2,000 degrees Celsius. Replace candles in pumpkins with battery powered candles – these are cheap, they don’t blow out and are much safer. Teach your child to STOP, DROP and ROLL in the event that their clothing does catch fire. In an emergency, cool any burns with large amounts of water and get urgent medical assistance. If you must use candles, make sure they are securely placed in a correct holder and in a place where they are not likely to be knocked over. Keep them away from curtains, cushions and draughts. Make sure candles are extinguished when you go to bed. If you are using decorative lights in your home, ensure that electricity sockets are not overloaded and that they’re switched off at the socket at night.

A conductive flexible piezoresistive sensor (CHAP-PU) with superhydrophobicity and high flame retardancy was prepared by a simple dip-coating method using A-CNTs/HGM/ADP coatings deposited on the surface of a sponge skeleton and modified with polydimethylsiloxane. With great sensitivity and durability (>3000 cycles) as well as fast response/recovery time (152 ms/178 ms), the sensor is capable of monitoring human movement as a wearable device. The modified material surface has a hydrophobicity angle of 153°, which provides significant self-cleaning and weather resistance. Furthermore, the CHAP-PU sensor is able to respond stably to underwater movements. Importantly, when the sponge was directly exposed to an open flame, no flame spreading or dripping of molten material was detected, indicating excellent flame retardancy. Meanwhile, CHAP-PU was also equipped as a smart fire alarm system, and the results showed that an alarm signal was triggered within 2 s under flame erosion. Therefore, the flame-retardant superhydrophobic CHAP-PU sponge-based sensor shows great potential for human motion detection and fire alarm applications.
