The study of fire retardancy in PVC is a very important topic nowadays due to its huge industrial application. ECOPVC project aims to develop a series eco-friendly fire retardant technologies for PVC, completely replacing the traditional fire retarding approach by using antimony oxides because of theirenvironment impact.

Epoxy resin plays a very important role in the development of polymer matrix materials because of their overall superior insulating and mechanical properties. New epoxy based polymers with enhanced multifunctional properties (e.g. flame retardancy, thermal stability and reduced cost) are required for applications in construction, transportation, aerospace and electric and electronic devices.

Fire retardants can significantly improve the fire safety of the materials leading to enhance security and reduction of risks in the case of fire. The development of novel eco-benign, high performance fire retardants and materials is attractive not only from industrial but also from environmental and socio-economical stand points.

Nowadays, the whole aerospace industry (engines & structures) turns definitively to high-performance carbon fibre composites to solve main challenge such as: cost savings, further weight reduction and improved durability. Composites are key materials for the development of the whole transport industry since they simultaneously reduce the associated costs and the transport environmental imprint via reduction in fuel consumption, and hence, COx and NOx emission reductions through lightweight design.

Replacement of existing flame retardants (FR) with sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives for textiles in domestic, safety, transport (automotive, rail, aerospace and marine), civil emergency and military, construction and other industries requires a multidisciplinary approach from textile technology to the physics and chemistry of fire.

Maintaining and expanding the market potential for bio-based building products in indoor and outdoor construction uses remains a key activity for European industry in the forestry and biotechnological sector. Performance data for many “environmental friendly” building materials are lacking as well as suitable comprehensive test methodologies to determine their resistance against mould, stain, and decay.

Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) has achieved large acceptance in the recent years. FSE allows a PBD with customized building solutions. However, the available techniques are often limited to non-combustible materials. During the last decade the portfolio of building products made from bio-based raw materials has increased enormously. The material properties affecting a possible fire development vary which has been confirmed in many development projects including European researchers.
This Action wants to create a platform for networking, exchange and collection of performance data, experiences, authority- and climate requirements which affect the design with respect to the Fire Safe Use of Bio-based Building Products. By systematically organisation knowledge in this area will advance at a significant higher rate. The Action will Exchange researchers, organize Workshop and create comprehensive dissemination material.
