Synergistic effect of mesoporous silica SBA‐15 on intumescent flame‐retardant polypropylene

Mesoporous silica SBA‐15 synthesized from Pluronic P123 and tetraethoxysilane was used as a synergistic agent on the flame retardancy of polypropylene (PP)/intumescent flame‐retardant (IFR) system. Limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL‐94 rating and thermogravimetric analysis were used to evaluate the synergistic effect of SBA‐15 on PP/IFR system. It showed that PP/IFR system could reach V‐0 with loading of SBA‐15 ranging from 0.5 to 3 wt%, while without SBA‐15 it had no rating at UL‐94 test. The LOI value increased from 25.5 to 32.2 when the loading of SBA‐15 was 1 wt%. The thermal stability of PP/IFR was improved in the presence of SBA‐15 and the amount of the char residue at 600° C was increased from 8.96 to 16.42 wt% when loading of SBA‐15 varied from 0.5 to 5 wt%. Laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS) and scanning electron microscopy were employed to study the morphology of the char residue of PP/IFR system with and without SBA‐15.

新型磷-氮膨胀阻燃剂在改性聚丙烯中的应用研究

采用自制干法合成的磷-氮膨胀型阻燃剂(磷酸酯三聚氰胺盐,IFR)复配聚磷酸胺(APP)和聚四氟乙烯(PT-FE)阻燃改性聚丙烯(PP),利用极限氧指数法、垂直燃烧法分析了阻燃PP的燃烧性能,通过热重分析仪、傅里叶变换红外光谱仪、扫描电子显微镜和X射线光电子能谱对阻燃PP的热降解过程、燃烧性能、残炭结构进行了分析,并研究了燃烧过程中复配阻燃体系对PP的阻燃机理。结果发现,IFR、APP和PTFE之间具有明显的阻燃协效作用;当阻燃剂总添加量为24%(APP为6%、IFR为17.5%、PTFE为0.5%)(质量分数)时,阻燃PP的极限氧指数达到30.1%,垂直燃烧测试达UL 94V-0级;加入阻燃剂还能提高PP的热稳定性。     

A novel intumescent flame‐retardant epoxy resins system

Pentaerythritol diphosphonate melamine–dicyandiamide–formaldehyde resin salt, a novel macromolecular intumescent flame retardants (IFR), was synthesized, and its structure was a caged bicyclic macromolecule containing phosphorus characterized by IR, NMR and element analysis. The flame retardancy and thermal behavior of a new IFR system for epoxy resin were investigated by LOI, UL‐94 test, TG, and IR. Activation energy for the decomposition of samples was obtained using Kissinger equation. 25% of weight of IFR were doped into epoxy resin to get 27.5 of LOI and UL 94 V‐0. The TG curves and IR spectra show that IFR decreases the initial decomposition temperature and the maximum weight loss rate of epoxy resin, and enhances the thermal stability of epoxy resin at high temperatures and char yield. The activation energy for epoxy resin containing IFR was decreased by 44.8 kJ/mol, which shows that IFR can catalyze decomposition of epoxy resin. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of charring agent THEIC on flame retardant properties of polypropylene

Tris(2‐hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate (THEIC) was used as charring agent and combined with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) to form an intumescent flame retardant (IFR) for polypropylene (PP). The flame retardancy and combustion performance of PP/IFR composite was tested by limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL‐94 vertical burning test and cone calorimeter. The results showed that PP/IFR composite had highest LOI of 34.8 and obtained V‐0 rating when 30 wt % IFR was loaded and mass ratio APP/THEIC was 2 : 1. The peak heat release (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) values of PP composite containing FRs were remarkably reduced compared with that of pure PP. However, water resistant test demonstrated the PP/IFR composite had poor flame retardant durability, both the LOI value and UL‐94 V‐rating decreased when PP/IFR composite was soaked in water at 70°C after 36 h. The degradation process and the char morphology of IFR and PP/IFR composite were investigated by TGA and SEM images. The possible reaction path between APP and THEIC in the swollen process was proposed. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015 , 132, 41214.

Synergistic effect of phosphorus-containing nanosponges on intumescent flame-retardant polypropylene

A novel nanosponge (NS) was synthesized via the crosslinking of β-cyclodextrin with epoxy resin. Subsequently, a phosphorus-containing nanosponge (P–NS) was prepared by the absorbance of resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate) into the NS, and it was used as a synergistic agent of intumescent flame retardance in a polypropylene (PP)/melamine pyrophosphate/pentaerythritol composite. The synergistic effect between P–NS and the intumescent flame retardant (IFR) was investigated by thermogravimetry, limiting oxygen index (LOI) testing, vertical burning (UL-94) testing, cone calorimeter testing, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that P–NS significantly improved the flame retardancy of the PP/IFR composite. When 3.0 wt % P–NS replaced the same amount of IFR in the composite, the LOI value increased from 29.0 to 32.5%, the UL-94 rating was enhanced from V-1 to V-0, and the peak heat release rate decreased substantially from 343 to 235 kW/m². Simultaneously, the total heat release and mass loss rate decreased dramatically. Furthermore, the SEM results show that the quality of char formation of the PP/IFR/P–NS was superior to that of the PP/IFR composite. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012     

Synergistic effects of dual imidazolium polyoxometalates on intumescent flame retardant polypropylene

The role of dual imidazolium polyoxometalates (POMs) in the flame retardancy of polypropylene/intumescent flame retardant (PP/IFR) composites was studied. The results showed that the structures of dual imidazolium POMs have a great effect on the flame retardancy of PP composites. The dual imidazolium POMs based on an ethyl group (EMIPMA) obtain the best flame retardant efficiency. With 15.5 wt % IFR and 0.5 wt % EMIPMA, the PP composites reach a limiting oxygen index of 25.7 and the UL‐94 V‐0 standard. However, the dual imidazolium POMs containing a butyl (BMIPMA) or hexyl (HMIPMA) group cannot achieve the UL‐94 V‐0 standard at the same formulation. Dual imidazolium POMs not only promote the formation of good char, but also induce the formation of intumescent char with a hierarchical and microporous structure that helps to prevent gas and heat from transferring from the flame to the resin. Therefore, the flame retardancy of PP/IFR composites is improved. However, excessive combustible components produced by BMIPMA or HMIPMA deteriorate the flame retardancy of PP/IFR composites. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Synthesis of novel triazine charring agent and its effect in intumescent flame‐retardant polypropylene

A novel charring agent (CNCA‐DA) containing triazine and benzene ring, using cyanuric chloride, aniline, and ethylenediamine as raw materials, was synthesized and characterized. The effects of CNCA‐DA on flame retardancy, thermal degradation, and flammability properties of polypropylene (PP) were investigated by limited oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test (UL‐94), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and cone calorimeter test (CCT). The TGA results showed that CNCA‐DA had a good char forming ability, and a high initial temperature of thermal degradation; the char residue of CNCA‐DA reached 18.5% at 800°C; Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) could improve the char residue of APP/CNCA‐DA system, the char residue reached 31.6% at 800°C. The results from LOI and UL‐94 showed that the intumescent flame retardant (IFR) containing CNCA‐DA and APP was very effective in flame retardancy of PP. When the mass ratio of APP and CNCA‐DA was 2 : 1, and the IFR loading was 30%, the IFR showed the best effect; the LOI value reached 35.6%. It was also found that when the IFR loading was only 20%, the flame retardancy of PP/IFR can still pass V‐0 rating in UL‐94 tests, and its LOI value reached 27.1%. The CCT results demonstrated that IFR could clearly change the decomposition behavior of PP and form a char layer on the surface of the composites, consequently resulting in efficient reduction of the flammability parameters, such as heat release rate (HRR), total heat release (THR), smoke production rate (SPR), total smoke production (TSP), and mass loss (ML). © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Flame retardancy and water resistance of novel intumescent flame‐retardant oil‐filled styrene–ethylene–butadiene–styrene block copolymer/polypropylene composites

A novel halogen‐free flame‐retardant composite consisting of an intumescent flame retardant (IFR), oil‐filled styrene–ethylene–butadiene–styrene block copolymer (O‐SEBS), and polypropylene (PP) was studied. On the basis of UL‐94 ratings and limiting oxygen index (LOI) data, the IFRs consisted of a charring–foaming agent, ammonium polyphosphate, and SiO₂ showed very effective flame retardancy and good water resistance in the IFR O‐SEBS/PP composite. When the loading of IFR was only 28 wt %, the IFR–O‐SEBS/PP composite could still attain a UL‐94 V‐0 (1.6 mm) rating, and its LOI value remained at 29.8% after a water treatment at 70°C for 168 h. Thermogravimetric analysis data indicated that the IFR effectively enhanced the temperature of the main thermal degradation peak of the IFR–O‐SEBS/PP composites because of the formation of abundant char residue. The flammability parameters of the composites obtained from cone calorimetry testing demonstrated that water treatment almost did not affect the flammability behavior of the composite. The morphological structures of the char residue and fractured surfaces of the composites were not affected by the water treatment. This was attributed to a small quantity of IFR extracted from the composite. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014 , 131, 39575.

Flame Retardancy and Thermal Performance of Polypropylene Treated With the Intumescent Flame Retardant,Piperazine Spirocyclic Phosphoramidate

Piperazine spirocyclic phosphoramidate (PSP), a novel halogen‐free intumescent flame retardant, was synthesized and used to improve the flame retardancy and dripping resistance of polypropylene (PP) combined with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and a triazine polymer charring‐foaming agent (CFA). The optimum flame‐retardant formulation was PSP:APP:CFA = 3:6:2 (weight ratio). The flammability and thermal behavior of the (intumescent flame‐retardant)‐PP (IFR‐PP) were investigated via limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning tests (UL‐94), thermogravimetric analysis, and cone calorimetry (CONE). The results indicated that the IFR‐PP had both excellent flame retardancy and anti‐dripping ability. The optimum flame‐retardant formulation gave an LOI value of 39.8 and a UL‐94 V‐0 rating to PP. Moreover, both the heat release rate and the total heat release of the IFR‐PP with the optimum formulation decreased significantly relative to those of pure PP, according to the cone calorimeter analyses. The residues of IFR‐PP obtained after CONE tests were observed by scanning electron microscopy, and it was found that the char yield was directly related to the flame retardancy and anti‐dripping behavior of the treated PP.

Combustion Behavior and Thermal Oxidative Degradation of EVA Containing Intumescent Flame Retardant

Microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate (VAPP) with poly(vinyl alcohol)- melamine-formaldehyde (VMF) shell was introduced in ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) to improve its flame retardancy. Due to the presence of VMF shell, VAPP shows better compatibility, flame retardancy and water resistance compared with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) in EVA. The flammability of EVA and its flame-retarded composites was studied by LOI, UL-94 and cone calorimeter. The composite containing 40 wt% VAPP can pass V-0 in UL-94 test, and hot water treatment shows few effects on its LOI value and UL-94 rating. The cone results indicated that the use of VAPP in EVA can significantly decrease heat release rate and total heat release compared with APP. To understand the mechanism of action of VAPP, dynamic FTIR experiments were carried out on EVA and EVA/VAPP composites. Based on above studies, the flame retardant mechanism of VAPP in EVA composite is discussed.

Effects of organopalygorskite on intumescent flame‐retarded polypropylene

The effect of organopalygorskite (OPGS) on an intumescent flame retardant (IFR) low‐density polypropylene (PP) has been investigated using the limited oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test (UL‐94) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results of the LOI and UL‐94 tests indicate that the addition of OPGS substantially increases the LOI value for PP/IFR at a OPGS to IRF mass ratio of 2/28 with 30 wt% of total flame retardant. In addition, the samples pass the V‐0 rating in the UL‐94 tests. The results indicate that the addition of 2.0 wt% of OPGS simultaneously increases the tensile strength and bending strength of PP/IFR. J. VINYL ADDIT.
