Services
The mission of FR Adviser LLC is to help clients develop new and sustainable, halogen free flame retardants molecules and/formulations for Thermoset and Thermoplastic applications with emphasis on flammability performance, balance of properties and economics.
Since its formation, FR Adviser LLC has assisted many domestic and international clients covering a broad range of services.
FR Adviser LLC can assist at any step of the FR development process, from Ideation all the way to commercialization:
Ideation → Synthesis → Screening → Process scale-up → Commercialization
Ideation/Brainstorming
- New Molecules/formulations for existing or new applications
- Prioritize ideas and design proof of concept experiments
Design – Synthesis – Scale-up
- Design and synthesis of small molecule and oligomeric halogen free FR Reactives and Additives for Thermosets and Thermoplastics
- Synthon-based design to develop “Structure-Flammability-Relationship” for various resin systems such as: Epoxy; Polyurethane; PC/ABS; ABS; HIPS; PS; PE; PP …
- Using analytical measurements to determine the thermal stability and FR mechanism of new molecules/formulations and the impact on flammability
- Synthesis of P, N, Si based/hybrid halogen free molecules
- Process scale-up from lab (g) to pilot (Kg) to commercial (MT) scale
- Optimization and troubleshooting of pilot and commercial processes
- Preliminary economics for new molecules/formulations
FR Testing and Screening
- Design/Optimization of FR formulations to pass specific regulatory tests such as UL-94, Cone Calorimeter, NBS smoke chamber, Room corner test, E-84, Crib V test…
- Development of correlation data to develop FR formulation design criteria to pass a number of regulatory tests
- Development of qualitative small scale flammability screening tools for faster FR development
- Identifying industry specific minimum FR test data required for different application areas
- Initiating contact with flammability test labs for off-site testing & screening
