Halogen-free Intumescent Flame Retardant for ABS/PA6/SMA Alloys

Polyphenylene Ether/Glycol Modified Polyethylene Terephthalate Blends and their Physical Characteristics

“…3. [14] Note that the SMA has been widely used as a compatibilizer for various polymer blend systems, [15] and it is known to be miscible with PPE. Figure 4 shows TGA data of the PPE/PETG blend with various compositions.…”

Experimental Study on Heat Transfer of Intumescent Fire Retardant Polypropylene Materials

“…Thus, an intumescent char layer is formed and acts as an insulation barrier to protect the underlying material against the heat generated by the combustion process, slowing down the degradation rate and producing less combustible gas. [10][11][12][13][14][15] It is well known that the flame retardancy of materials not only depends on their thermal stability but also on their chemical structure, heat transfer, mass transfer, and fluid flow processes. Thus, the combustion process of polymeric materials is a complicated process involving physical and chemical interactions.…”

Influence of magnesium hydroxide on thermal decomposition of intumescent fire-retardant epoxy coatings

“…Accordingly, the resultant intumescent char layer will form and act as an insulation barrier which can protect the underlying material against the heat generated by combustion process. [10][11][12][13][14] However, the pyrolysis and combustion process of polymers is a complicated process involving physical and chemical interactions. 15,16 Any modification to the polymer, such as the incorporation of an additive, results in a change of thermophysical properties and will affect the pyrolysis process and combustion process thereafter.…”
