Using polyamide-6 as charring agent in intumescent polypropylene formulationsI. Effect of the compatibilising agent on the fire retardancy performance

Development of a Halogen Free Flame Retardant Masterbatch for Polypropylene Fibers

“…These results suggest that the degradation of the additives starts before the iPP one to stabilize the matrix or slow down the degradation. Under inert atmosphere, the iPP degradation is related to a chain scission mechanism [30]. The presence of the FR additives, and more specially the melamine, can act as radical scavengers [31,32].…”

Thermal properties and combustion behaviors of flame retarded epoxy acrylate with a chitosan based flame retardant containing phosphorus and acrylate structure

“…A number of flame retardants have been prepared. However, in these materials, the segment used as char forming source root in petroleum based materials, such as pentaerythritol [14][15][16][17][18][19]. Because of the petroleum crisis and the deterioration of ecological environment, it is necessary to search for the replacement of petroleum based materials.…”

Study of the Fire Performance of Magnesium Hydroxide Sulfate Hydrate Whisker Flame Retardant Polyethylene

“…[11,12] In addition, it is known that the fire properties of polyolefin composites containing polar fillers can be enhanced by the addition of poly[ethylene-co-(vinyl acetate)] (EVA) as an adhesion promoter. [13,14] It is therefore worthwhile to investigate the effect of RP and EVA on the fire properties of MHSH whisker filled polymer composites.…”
