The
ninth in the series of conferences organised by the flame
retardants and plastics industry and is targeted at those
working in these industries or using FR products.
The papers are split into the following categories:
Construction Products Directive and Regulations (6), Flame
Retardant Applications (7), Toxicity and Environmental Issues
(7), FR Applications (3).
