Ecopaint bio-based formulations (ECOBIOFOR)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2014, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2016,
The EU solvents market totalled 5.0 Million Tons in 2010. The bio-based solvent consumption was only 0.63 Million Tons (12.6%), mainly devoted to cleaning operations, however the consumption of biosolvents is estimated to grow annually 4.8% up to 1.1 million by 2020 (EU Innova-Biochem 2010).The Coatings/Inks/Adhesives Industry represents 58% of the global solvent consumption, since they use solven ...

Life Cycle Assessment of Environment-Compatible Flame Retardants ( Prototypical case study) (ENFIRO)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2012,
Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) will be phased out because of their environmental hazards. Less toxic alternatives appear to be available already but comprehensive information on their possible toxicological effects are lacking. ENFIRO offers a prototypical case study on substitution options for BFRs resulting in a comprehensive dataset on viability of production and application, environmental ...

Processing and Upscaling of Fire-Resistant Nano-Filled Thermosetting Polyester Resin (POLYFIRE)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,
Polyfire will develop and upscale techniques for processing halogen-free, fire-retardant nanocomposites and coatings based on unsaturated polyester resins and nanoclays. These materials will improve public safety and environmental impact by eliminating halogenated fire-retardants, which produce toxic combustion products. The ability of well-dispersed nanoparticles to enhance the fire-retardancy of ...

Smart fire-retardant coatings based on intumescent nanocomposites (HEFEST)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2008, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2011,
"In Europe, annual fire losses reach 80 billion €, meaning more than 1% of EU GDP, 4000 people die and another 80000 suffer terrible burns. The use of fire retarding intumescent coatings play an important role in Fire Safety being this subsector mainly comprised by SMEs. Nowadays, a variety of fire intumescent coatings is available presenting diverse drawbacks such as: poor behaviour when ageing, ...
