A study of the thermal degradation of flexible tdi-based polyurethane foams
A novel environmentally friendly fire retardant formulation for use in polyurethane foams has previously been developed at the University of Strathclyde; however, the fundamental chemistry relating to the fire retardancy of this foam was not well understood. The purpose of this research project …

Decomposition and Fire Retardancy of Naturally Occurring Mixtures of Huntite and Hydromagnesite.
… hydromagnesite have been successfully used as a fire retardant additive in polymers for many years. The onset of decomposition of hydromagnesite is at a higher temperature than that of aluminium hydroxide but lower than that of magnesium hydroxide, the two most commonly used mineral fire …

Inorganic/organic hybrid polymers
… vinyl groups and to study their uses as possible fire retardants. The work consisted of several parallel strands: the synthesis of organically modified silicas; the preparation of vinyl containing silsesquioxanes based on the hydrolysis of cyclohexyltrichlorosilane or …

Relationships between polymer additive molecular structure and intumescent flame retardant behaviour.
… polymers. The development of intumescent fire retardants is discussed along with the principles of flame retardancy in general. Much of the work centred around the chemistry of a key starting material, pentaerythritol phosphate (PEPA). This compound was found to be less reactive than …

Development of fire retardant timber treatments
Fire retardant treated timber has been used in interior and exterior building structures to satisfy the legal flammability requirements. Dricon and NCX are two commercial phosphorus-based products sold by Arch Timber Protection. However, modifications to their formulation may be required due to …

Studying the Effect of Zinc 3-(Dibutylamino) Propionate (ZDAP) Additive on Fire Retardant, Mechanical, and Physical Characteristics of Epoxy-Amine Networks
… but are inherently flammable. To enhance the fire performance of epoxy-amine, Nazarenko research group developed zinc 3-(dibutylamino)propionate (ZDAP) as a fire-retardant additive. This zinc-salt-based fire retardant is an endothermically-degrading char former that is functionalized with …
