2nd International FR-Conference
FIRE-SAFE TEXTILES AND PLASTICS
1,5 days Conference with lectures and sponsor stands
16 & 17 October 2014 | Augustine Monastery | Gent | Belgium
PROGRAMME
FIRE-RETARDANT materials play a very important role
in society. The main drivers are the growing international
demand for flame-retardant products as a consequence
of more stringent fire-safety and environmental
requirements, and new approaches to sustainability.
Funding by IWT 110796
SPONSORS
THE CONFERENCE aims to identify the main changes and
trends in the flame retardants markets and to develop
adequate strategies for today and tomorrow. It will provide
a comprehensive update of all aspects of fire-retardancy
and FR-additives for textiles and plastics.
