Effect of Melamine and its Salts on Combustion and Thermal Decomposition of Polyamide 6

Effect of boron containing materials on flammability and thermal degradation of polyamide‐6 composites containing melamine cyanurate

“…5, LOI value sharply increased from 22.5 to 31.8 when 15 wt% MC was added to PA‐6. Similar results can be found in literature 12, 13. The inclusion of boron compounds causes reduction of the LOI values of PA‐6 composites.…”

Effect of boron‐containing materials on the flammability and thermal degradation of polyamide 6 composites containing melamine

“…As shown in Figure 1, the LOI value sharply increased from 22.5 to 31 when 20 wt % melamine was added to PA‐6. Similar results can be found in the literature 12, 13. Except for a composite containing 1 wt % BSi, the addition of boron compounds reduced the LOI value with respect to NM1.…”

Polyamide 6 Filled with Melamine Cyanurate and Layered Silicates: Evaluation of Flame Retardancy and Physical Properties

“…Examination of the data plainly demonstrates that PA6 and the nanocomposites decompose mostly in one step, whereas two steps of thermal decomposition are observed in the presence of melamine cyanurate (Table 3). The first weight loss step, ranging from 280 to 360 °C, in agreement with the literature, is attributed mainly to the decomposition of the melamine cyanurate salt, while the second step, between 360 and 500 °C corresponds, in principal, to polymer degradation 5, 56…”
