Using clay in PA-based intumescent formulations. Fire performance and kinetic parameters

摘要

The improved fire performance of polyamide-6 clay nanocomposite compared with polyamide-6 are correlated with their degradation kinetic parameters. Moreover substituting polyamide-6 by polyamide-6 clay nanocomposite in an intumescent blend enables to improve its fire properties. Once again, the improved fire performance can be correlated with the kinetic degradation parameters. The advantages of using nano-dispersed clay are shown. [References: 13]
