LANXESS Polymer Additives is a leading supplier of flame-retardant additives for multiple industries, including construction, electrical and electronics, and transportation. Fire represents a significant risk to both life and property.


LANXESS flame retardants are innovative polymer additives that provide substantially increased fire protection when added to rubber and plastic materials, such as flexible PU, rigid PU foam formulations and PVC. They offer superior low flammability, low flame propagation, and low smoke density and are designed to meet applicable regulations and standards and ensure compliance with the safety requirements of various industries.


The LANXESS Polymer Additives phosphorous flame-retardant portfolio includes the Amgard®, Disflamoll®, Levagard®, and Reofos® extended product lines, as well Emerald Innovation® NH-1. Azelis also represents the brominated line of flame-retardants Firemaster®, PHT4® and PHT4 Diol®, BA59P®, BC 58®, PDBS-80®, and Emerald Innovation 3000®.


Shiona Stewart, managing director, Azelis, CASE US comments, “The addition of LANXESS polymer additive's phosphorus flame retardants is a direct result of the hard work and positive results we have delivered. By adding Disflamoll® and Levagard® products, this continues to build out our additive’s portfolio for the CASE market. Azelis has had a long and successful commercial relationship with LANXESS, and we are excited to expand our collaboration with this new set of high-performance additives. Our application labs and chemists will provide technical expertise and innovative solutions for our customers as they seek to develop new product applications.”

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Ever wondered how we can reduce plastic pollution in India? The Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), affiliated with the DRDO, has launched an eco-friendly remedy with the introduction of biodegradable water bottles. Crafted from sustainable Polylactic acid (PLA) material, these bottles not only combat plastic waste but also contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. The best thing about this bottle is its all-encompassing sustainability approach – the bottle, cap, and label are all compostable. This innovation, derived from 100% bio-based and renewable sources, sets us on a path towards environmental conservation and fosters a greener and more sustainable future.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:High and low shear rate changes in Rheology

-

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share If a relatively high Mw grade flows from thin to thick, as shown in the picture, and if the time needed to fill the thick section is way shorter than the average polymer relaxation time, the polymer will not be able to reach its higher viscosity (corresponding to higher thickness/lower shear-rate). I am assuming here the polymer reached equilibrium low viscosity in the thin section, say for instance because it is much longer. Any pressure prediction not accounting for transient rheology would then overpredict the pressure to fill.Of course the diverging flow will further complicate the situation and mess with the molecular orientation created in the thin section, but to what extent ? Since this is more of a reasonable "conjecture", don't take this for granted, and discuss or share your opinion in the comments. There are hundreds of Rheology papers on the "4:1 contraction flow". Not sure I have ever seen any on the..."1:4 expansio
