Complex Char Formation in Flame-Retarded Fibre- Intumescent Combinations. Part V. Exploring Different Fibre/Intumescent Combinations

摘要

Previosu research work in our laboratory has indicated that the efficiency of certain flame-retardant fibres can be further enhanced if certain interactive intumescents are dispersed on their surfaces. In our previously reported work we have successfully observed interactions between certain commercially available flame-retardant cellulosic and regenerated cellulose (viscose) fibres and two melamine and phosphoric acid-based intumescent systems. In the present work we have explored the sue of other intumescent systems -melamine cyanurate, melamine borate, melamine oxalate, melamine pyrophosphate and an inorganic silicate-based intumescent, Cylatherm.
