Databook of Flame Retardants

Databook of Flame Retardants, Second Edition serves as a comprehensive resource for professionals and researchers seeking detailed information on flame retardant additives. Organized into five distinct sections—General, Physical, Health and Safety, Ecological, and Use—the book delivers over one hundred types of data for more than three hundred and fifty commercially available flame retardant products. Each data field is clearly defined, supporting informed decision-making in product selection and application. Whether you are working in polymer science, product development, or regulatory compliance, this databook provides essential facts to guide safe and effective flame retardant use.

In addition to its extensive database, the book covers a wide range of properties, including calcium content, molecular mass, brightness, freezing and melting points, viscosity, volatility, and autoignition temperature. It details UN/NA classifications, partition coefficients, processing methods, and recommended concentrations, offering a broad spectrum of practical data. To maximize its utility, it is recommended to use this databook alongside the Handbook of Flame Retardants, which offers complementary insights into product roles, selection criteria, mechanisms of action, and health and commercial considerations without duplicating content.
