Directa Plus PLC - London-based producer of graphene nanoplatelets-based products for consumer and industrial use - Notes the publication of a scientific paper establishing the fire-retardant properties of Directa's G+ materials.
The research was undertaken by scientists at the Polytechnic of Turin in Italy. It shows that the use of water-based G+ graphene ink to coat polymeric foam confers significant flame-retardant properties versus untreated polymeric foam. A simple application of G+ ink to the external faces of the foam provided good flame-retardant properties.
"Polymeric foams are used in many applications from roof insulation to furniture and are extremely flammable meaning that the potential market for G+ fire retardant technology is sizeable," company notes.
