Abstract

This paper discusses the requirements and challenges associated with the selection of plastic resins for information technology (IT) products. The discussion includes a review of presently used fire retardant systems in plastics in relation to the current flammability safety and environmental concerns and cost pressures as well as suggestions for the development of new flame retardant systems and/or resins for IT applications with optimum performance, safety, cost and environmental attributes.
