Synergistic fire retardant composition

title:  POLYURETHANE FLAME RETARDANT FORMULATION

number: WO2012116885

 publication date:  7 september 2012 (PCT)

applicant/assignee:  Huntsman Polyurethanes

Gist: A PU formulation with a mixture of ammonium polyphosphate and nano metal oxide particles (Mg or Al)

Why it is innovative:  While synergistic effects of fire retardant combinations are known and claimed in many patents, the use of very small metal oxide particles together with APP seems to have a real and significant effect.

Innovation in Polyurethanes

Hello World!

This is the first entry in my blog on ‘Innovation in Polyurethanes’.  Here I will  present the -in my opinion- most interesting PU patent applications selected from the recently published patent literature.  So not another boring list of patents with meaningless titles and doubtful innovativity, but a short selection of  really innovative, remakable or just interesting patent applications, with a few words on the essence (the “gist”) and why they made the list.

I hope it will be useful to you and please let me know what you think.

Best regards
