Flammability and mechanical properties of Al(OH)3 and BaSO4 filled polypropylene

Abstract: The flammability and mechanical properties of Al(OH) 3 /BaSO 4 /polypropylene (PP) composites were investigated. The flow, morphological, and thermal properties were also analyzed by melt flow index (MFI), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) studies, respectively. Total filler amount was fixed at 30 wt % to optimize physical characteristics of the composites. In addition to the flame retardant filler Al(OH) 3 , BaSO 4 was used to balance the reduction in impact stren… Show more

“…Aluminum hydroxide (ATH), as a class of inorganic halogen-free flame retardants, is commonly applied in flame-retarding polymer materials because of its low toxicity, cost benefit, good smoke suppression effects, environment-friendliness and widespread origin. As a result, the ATH has been increasingly applied in flameretardant polypropylene (PP) materials [1][2][3][4][5]. Up to now, all the flame-retardant PP materials mainly form a-crystal due to the a-nucleation on the surface of AHT on the PP crystallization.…”

“…The performance of PP can be boosted substantially via use of reinforcing fillers, such as talc and short glass fibers. Other properties, e.g., reduction in mould shrinkage, can be improved via addition of low cost non‐reinforcing fillers such as calcium carbonate …”

“…Barium sulfate is often used as additive in coatings, plastics, and paper to improve their toughness and impact strength [27,28]. Thus, barium sulfate and D-3RNL were selected for synthesizing a conjugate–BaSO 4 hybrid to treat dye wastewater and the dye-BSD sludge produced during the treatment process may have the potential to be reused as colorant fill-in coating.…”
