_Handbook of Flame Retardants_ contains an extensive evaluation of the
existing literature, products and patents related to flame retardance.
As a perfect complement to The Databook of Flame Retardants, this book
explains the roles, selection, mechanisms of action, use in different
polymers and products, and health and environmental issues of over 350
different products. Chapters highlight the fundamentals of material
burning and the associated stages of heat, flame and smoke, properties
and mechanisms, and preventive, delaying and extinguishing attributes
of 27 chemical groups of flame retardants. Examples of synergistic and
antagonistic actions of various additives are discussed next, along
with testing methods.
The book concludes with chapters providing guidance on optimal
selection of flame retardants for various polymers and information on
the toxicity of flame retardants and their effects on the environment.
