Description: Electrical and electronic devices - domestic appliances, cables, electrical components - are the major area of application of flame retardants. From an environmental point of view, halogenated flame retardants are problematic because they contain persistent and toxic substances which bear the danger of forming highly toxic dioxins in the case of fire. The aim of the EU's PHOENIX project is the development of nonhalogenated flame retardants based on nanostructure materials and biogenic resources. Research covers the entire spectrum from the development of materials to their industrial application. The chair of Industrial Material Cycles coordinates the work package concerning the ecological and economic evaluation of the new flame retardants and works out the life cycle assessment for a comprehensive evaluation of their environmental characteristics.
