“…Therefore, the emphasis on fire behavior has gradually shifted from pure polymers to the final compositions in the products. 40 The majority of such final products ( e.g., cables, furniture, and carpet) are ending up in conventional dwellings, public access buildings, and other built-in environments where fire risk is a key concern. As PEF is relatively new and not yet in the market, it is important to start to understand its fire behavior without additives.…”

Avantium is in the process of building a flagship plant for the production of furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and the derived polyester polyethylene furanoate (PEF) using their YXY process. Because of the status of this development of monomer production, next to storage and shipping, polymer production, application development, and polymer recycling, the understanding of the safety aspects of the YXY process is key for a successful deployment of the technology. In this paper, the focus is on fire propagation-related issues for both monomeric furanic compounds and for the polymer PEF and results are compared with relevant reference materials. The current assessment addresses the fire initiation and propagation behavior of FDCA and PEF for the very first time. From the fire safety viewpoint, it can be concluded that of the furanics tested, FDCA has a better safety margin both in terms of a lower thermal and chemical threat, as fires resulting from FDCA are not easily shifting toward underventilated fire scenarios. The obtained results with the PEF polymer are useful in understanding the nature and behavior of PEF under real fire conditions. PEF seems slightly better in terms of the total energy released from the combustion process than the bulk polyester PET. In addition, PEF fires result in lesser CO and soot yields compared to PET, which is proof for a better completeness of combustion.

“…Bond strength of anchorage adhesives has been investigated by pull-out tests at both ambient [7][8][9][10][11][12] and elevated temperatures [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Bond strength is found to decrease rapidly with temperature increasing, and the failure modes are resin splitting and rebar pull-out [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Especially, Li [14] carried out a series of elevated temperature tests on bond properties of FISV360S injecting anchorage adhesive, JCT-1 injecting anchorage adhesive and HIT-RE 500 anchorage adhesive.…”

A series of pull-out tests for anchorage adhesives were carried out at elevated temperatures of 25°C, 60°C, 100°C, 160°C, 260°C and after heating. The heating process followed a fixed curve. Three commonly used anchorage adhesives were adopted and five specimens were tested at each temperature condition. The residual strengths of the connection in and after heating were analyzed and compared. The force-slip relationships of the adhesives at elevated temperatures and after heating indicated that the bond strength decreased remarkably with the increase of temperature but recovered slightly after heating. The bond properties and failure mechanism between the adhesive bar and the outside tube are discussed. A three-stage and fourstage models for force-slip relationship were obtained by curve-fitting. The bond strength variations with the increasing of the deformation at the elevated temperature and after heating were contrasted. The results shown that bond strength of anchorage adhesive is strongly dependent on temperature and it decreases rapidly with rising temperature, the residual bearing capacity of anchorage adhesives is around or lowers to 10% when the temperature exceeds 260°C and the vinylester adhesive is more sensitive than epoxy adhesive to temperature effects. The result also shown that the glass transition temperature was a useful metrology for behaviors of adhesive after heating and it can also be used to determine the upper limit temperature for continuous application.
