Short description (English)	New hybrid, phosphorus containing, oligomeric and polymeric flame retardants for flexible PU-foams
Abstract (English)	Polyurethane (PU) foams as highly cellular polymers are easily ignitable. For applications like in mattresses or furniture, fire retardant foams are required e.g. for hotels, hospitals, prisons, transportation etc. Some flame retardants (FR) for flexible foams exist, they are mostly based on halogens. The aim of this project is to develop novel halogen free hybrid FR for flexible PU-foams, which will provide adequate flame retardancy and maintain other main physical properties of the foam.
