Abstract

Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) applications utilize various brominated and phosphorus flame returdants for reasons of fire safety. The use of flame retardants in these applications delays the spread of fires or delays the time of flashover, hence saving lives and property. An estimated 190 lives are saved annually through the use of flame retardants in television cabinets in the US. Research aimed at answering questions related to risk in use and end-of-life options for flame retardant plastics used in EEE applications has been performed and more is currently being performed. European Risk Assessment for several flame retardants is now in progress. Research has been ongoing to study various end-of-life options. This paper is a continuation of previous papers that address issues related to end-of-life, risk in use, and benefits of plastics containing flame retardants. Results of recent research aimed at determining the recyclability of plastics, such as HIPS, PC/ABS, and more recently PPO/HIPS containing brominated or phosphorus flame retardants under a variety of conditions are included.

用于电气和电子设备的阻燃HIPS、PC/ABS和PPO/HIPS的可回收性

出于防火安全的考虑，电气和电子设备(EEE)应用使用各种溴化和磷阻燃剂。在这些应用中使用阻燃剂可以延迟火灾的蔓延或延迟闪络的时间，从而挽救生命和财产。据估计，在美国，通过在电视柜中使用阻燃剂，每年挽救了190人的生命。针对电子电气设备中使用的阻燃塑料的使用风险和报废选择的相关问题，已经进行了研究，目前正在进行更多的研究。目前正在对几种阻燃剂进行欧洲风险评估。各种临终选择的研究正在进行中。这篇论文是先前论文的延续，讨论了含有阻燃剂的塑料的寿命结束、使用中的风险和好处。包括最近旨在确定塑料可回收性的研究结果，如HIPS, PC/ABS，以及最近含有溴化或磷阻燃剂的PPO/HIPS在各种条件下。
