Polymer flame retardancy : A new approach
New types of ecologically friendly polymer flame-retardant systems were proposed for Nylon 6,6 and polypropylene [high temperature polymer-organic char former, poly(vinyl alcohol), and silicon-inorganic system]. These systems can act in condensed and gaseous phases. The cone calorimeter and LOI tests indicated the improvement of fire-retardant properties for compositions of flame retardants with Nylon 6,6 and polypropylene in comparison with pure polymers.
