Nano-enabled Flame Retardants at NIST
Date:
Mon, 11/01/2010
The video focuses on the burn rate of furniture with traditional fire retardant chemicals and the efforts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop nanomaterial-based fire retardants that are a safer and less toxic replacement. NIST's research has shown that nano-based flame retardants use 30% less chemicals by weight, while still being as effective as the traditional flame retardants. Traditional flame retardants are currently used in a wide variety of consumer products, including furniture, curtains, automobiles, and even children's sleepwear.
