Effect of Pentaerythritol on the Properties of Wood-Flour/Polypropylene/Ammonium Polyphosphate Composite System

Abstract: Intumescent, flame-retarding wood-flour/polypropylene composites (WPCs) having different ammonium polyphosphate/pentaerythritol (APP/PER) ratios (4/1, 3/1, and 2/1) were prepared in this study. The thermal degradation behavior, flame retardancy, and mechanical properties of the composites were tested. Moreover, the residues of the WPCs were observed by scanning electron microscopy, and the flame retardancy mechanism was investigated. The results showed that WPC/APP/PER exhibited higher thermal stability in the… Show more

“…IFR is mainly composed of a carbon source, acid, and gas. The carbon source is rich in hydroxyl groups, such as pentaerythritol (PER) [3,4]. However, the traditional carbon source exists in defects of low molecular weight, which could migrate easily to deteriorate the mechanical properties of a polymer [3].…”

“…The flammability of different phosphorus‐based flame‐retardant systems and expandable graphite (EG) in PP was investigated, also with pretreated wood WPC, and the best results were achieved with multicomponent mixtures. The fire behavior of WPC containing intumescent flame‐retardant mixtures with APP and different char‐forming agents was studied . These systems show beneficial fire properties under forced flaming conditions due to residue stabilization through esterification reactions between the phosphoric acid liberated upon APP decomposition and the cellulosic ─OH groups of the wood component .…”

“…e earliest IFR system, consisting of ammonium polyphosphate (APP), pentaerythritol (PER), and melamine (MEL), has been systematically studied by Camino and coworkers [21][22][23][24]. However, the low water resistance of PER, due to its four hydroxyl groups, leads to a severe deterioration of the flame retardancy [25][26][27][28]. In 1960s, Verkade et al firstly synthesized 1-oxo-4-hydroxymethy1-2,6,7-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2.2.2]-octane (PEPA) [29].…”
