MPP is widely used as a flame retardant additive in plastics, adhesives coatings and polymers. MPP is halogen free and is highly effective owing to the presence of nitrogen and phosphorous thus, resulting in efficient P-N-synergism. Melamine polyphosphate is generally applied as additive and reactive flame retardant for thermally resistant polyurethane products.
Titanium is a widely used element which has a wide number of uses in human life. Due to the unique properties of titanium such as low density, high strength, anti-corrosion and high heat resistance, medical grade titanium materials find their way in several medical and healthcare applications. Currently, the medical and healthcare sector has been promoted from titanium materials owing to the unique ability of titanium to bond with the human bone as well as its excellent non-toxic property.
Electronic batch record (EBR) refer to software that electronically stores and manages data for a given batch as well as the whole manufacturing process step-by-step. The software uses the existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to systematically produce a formal master batch record or electronic batch record. This stores all of the materials, processes and activities that went into producing a given product.
