Processing and Upscaling of Fire-Resistant Nano-Filled Thermosetting Polyester Resin (POLYFIRE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
Polyfire will develop and upscale techniques for processing halogen-free, fire-retardant nanocomposites and coatings based on unsaturated polyester resins and nanoclays. These materials will improve public safety and environmental impact by eliminating halogenated fire-retardants, which produce toxic combustion products. The ability of well-dispersed nanoparticles to enhance the fire-retardancy of ...

Smart fire-retardant coatings based on intumescent nanocomposites (HEFEST)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2011,
"In Europe, annual fire losses reach 80 billion €, meaning more than 1% of EU GDP, 4000 people die and another 80000 suffer terrible burns. The use of fire retarding intumescent coatings play an important role in Fire Safety being this subsector mainly comprised by SMEs. Nowadays, a variety of fire intumescent coatings is available presenting diverse drawbacks such as: poor behaviour when ageing, ...
