Production of Flame-Retardant Nylon 6 and 6.6

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

“…Most polyamides soften and melt prior to thermal degradation. They may self extinguish and the smoke is mostly generated toward the end of combustion 1–3…”

“…Nitrogen containing flame retardants which do not add any new element than those that are already present in the polymer such as PA‐6 are environment‐friendly flame retardants. The most important organic nitrogen containing flame retardants are melamine and its derivates 1–7…”

Investigation of thermal degradation characteristics of polyamide-6 containing melamine or melamine cyanurate via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry

“…Several studies focused on the improvement of the flame retardancy of PA6 [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. It has been determined that various mechanisms depending on the experimental conditions contribute to thermal degradation.…”

The Flame Retardant Nomex/Cotton, Nylon/Cotton and Polyester/Cotton Blend Fabrics for Protective Clothing

“…The industry is still not able to produce flame-resistant nylon fabrics in spite of significant efforts made in the past 40 years [13][14][15][16]. It is even more difficult to impart flame retardancy to a blend of cotton and a synthetic fiber, such as cotton/nylon blend, than to each individual component fiber due to "scaffolding effect" [17].…”
