The project is to construct and prove the design of a unique plant needed to make a new andnovel flame retardant. The concept of the plant and manufacturing process to create thisproduct has been proved at small scale and the objectives of the year will be to build and run 2reactors capable of producing 4 tonnes of product a week, to initiate the sampling and sale ofmaterials to customers and build market awareness.The plant to be constructed has to be able to not only carry out the reaction but also dry theproduct without allowing it to cool and without having to transfer the product to a separatechamber for drying. No plant like this exists.The new flame retardant will be able to provide low smoke, fire safe and fire protectivecomposites for railway, aerospace, military and marine industries without the use ofhazardous flame retardants and without the loss of physical properties. This combination ofabilities makes the product unique. It will not only allow the lightweighting of occupiedvehicles and consequent energy saving without change to current manufacturing proceduresbut also allow composites to be used in new applications.The product creates low smoke and flame retarded rigid and flexible foams particularly forrailway rolling stock, and fire resistant external coatings such as may be applied to vehiclesoperating in tunnels.While the products demonstrate major advantages over the competitive technologies for theintended applications, they impose significant difficulties in the three stage manufacturingprocess. These the project will overcome.The technology uses low cost, sustainable commodity raw materials, combining them in anovel way, with low energy consumption and without production of by products. The finalproducts are insoluble, odourless, non hazardous, and will not alter recycling procedures. Theproducts are entirely polymeric and hence free from the need for REACH registration.

该项目旨在建造并验证制造新型阻燃剂所需的独特工厂的设计。制造该产品的工厂和制造工艺的概念已在小规模上得到验证，今年的目标是建造和运行 2 个能够每周生产 4 吨产品的反应器，启动向客户取样和销售材料并建立市场意识。要建造的工厂不仅必须能够进行反应，而且能够在不冷却的情况下干燥产品，并且无需将产品转移到干燥处。 独立的干燥室。目前还没有这样的工厂。这种新型阻燃剂将能够为铁路、航空航天、军事和海洋工业提供低烟、防火和防火复合材料，而无需使用危险的阻燃剂，且不会损失物理性能。这种能力的结合使该产品独一无二。它不仅可以在不改变当前制造程序的情况下实现载人车辆的轻量化和随之而来的节能，而且还可以将复合材料用于新的应用。该产品可生产低烟、阻燃的硬质和软质泡沫，特别适用于铁路机车车辆，以及可应用于隧道中运行的车辆的防火外部涂层。同时，该产品与竞争技术相比具有主要优势。 对于预期的应用，它们在三阶段制造过程中带来了巨大的困难。该项目将克服这些问题。该技术使用低成本、可持续的商品原材料，以新颖的方式将它们结合起来，能耗低且不产生副产品。最终产品不溶、无味、无危险，并且不会改变回收程序。该产品完全是聚合物，因此无需 REACH 注册。
