Abstract: A method for rendering nonstick a mold made of composite material, including the steps of: (i) providing a mold made of a composite material including an epoxy resin; (ii) applying a fluorinated-polymer powder, having a minimum film-forming temperature of less than 300° C. and heat resistance at temperatures higher than 200° C., onto the walls of the mold so as to form a layer; and (iii) heating the resulting layer to a temperature of between 260° C. and 300° C. so as to form a continuous film, whereby a mold made of a composite material is obtained the walls of which are provided with a nonstick coating. The present disclosure also relates to the mold obtainable by said method.

Abstract: An eco friendly radiation cross-linked composition is described that demonstrates excellent resistance to fire and high temperature along with good mechanical properties. The composition which is based on a blend of EVA with a LLDPE, is free of monomer such as vinyl co-agent for radiation cross-linking. The halogen free flame retardant composition is a mixture of 20 to 90% by weight of magnesium hydroxide (powder A) and 90% to 20% of powder B. Preferably the powder B is a double salt of magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate and the magnesium hydroxide has a specific surface treatment. In addition, 0.5 to 5 parts of flame retardancy agents are selected from talc, zinc borate or molybdate derivative. The chemicals used here reduce toxicity in the environment and do not release toxic chemicals to air and soil during fire. The flame retardant cross-linked polyolefin composition is particularly useful for insulating wires and cables.
