ELectrically Conductive Fire SAfe Polymers - ELYSA

Abstract (English)

The objective of this project is to obtain new environmentally sustainable and commercially viable fire safe, electrically conductive bio-based polyurethanes materials to substitute halogen containing polymers, e.g. soft Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), in demanding applications. ELYSA addresses the technical markets of, for example, clean rooms, data centres and heavy duty applications such as industrial plants and oil platforms. The consortium aims to realize halogen-free UL94-V0 (no burning) polymeric materials with electrical resistivity < 1000 Omega/cm exploiting synergisms among additives, material structure and process.
