"Workshop participants determined that these application areas should be prioritized for R&D because reducing
flammability in all five should significantly reduce the overall losses from fires in the future," Davis observes.
Safety-including the issues of
flammability and toxicity--is a key consideration when evaluating next-generation refrigerants.
Due to rising importance of reliable vegetation
flammability information numerous researchers worked on quantifying it with studies ranging from field burning experiments [17, 18] and burning tables/benches [19-22] to individual leaf testing [16, 23].
Management to minimise this impact has been recognised as a priority for the alpine area (Green 2008); however, the planned introduction of fire is widely seen as the only viable mechanism for reducing landscape
flammability (Gill 2008).
The USA's flexible polyurethane foam (FPF) industry is a maturing business that is adjusting to a number of issues, including changing requirements for the
flammability of various end-products that contain flexible foam content, growing emphasis on environmental stewardship, and shifts in market demand that may affect product development, production planning, and sustainability strategies.
The California Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair, Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation (BEARHFTI) released in August 2013 a modified version of the state's proposed new
flammability standards for upholstered furniture - Technical Bulletin 117-2013 (TB 117-2013).(1).
Garden Grove, CA, August 24, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Saint-Gobain Seals Group's Meldin[R] 7001 (unfilled polyimide) thermoset material, which is part of their Meldin[R] 7000 series product line, has passed the UL 94
flammability tests this year (a regularly occurring distinction for many years).
Flammability and sensitivity of materials in oxygen-enriched atmospheres, v.13; select papers.
To further curtail children's exposure, 17 baby and infant products would be exempt from having to meet the new
flammability standards.
Taking into consideration the high
flammability of cotton fibers, the application of this plan on cotton clothes is essential.
