Globalisation and environmental awareness is forcing the textile industry to innovate and to work more cost-effectively. Therefore technologies that can reduce the time-to-market of new products are of tremendous interest of this industry. As a competence centre in highthroughput methodologies, Flamac supports research for the materials industry. These methodologies enable fast parallel experimentation, resulting in an increased productivity compared to traditional sequential procedures. Together with the textile research centre Centexbel and the textile laboratory TO2C Flamac focused on the development of functional UV-formulations with enhanced properties for textile materials. This paper provides detailed information on the high-throughput methodologies applied in the screening and development of textile UV-coatings with fire retardant properties.
