Overview

Comparative analysis shows triethyl phosphate significantly reduces peak heat release rate in polyisocyanurate foam, highlighting its effectiveness over solid retardants.

Key Points

  • Triethyl phosphate exhibits superior heat release reduction compared to solid flame retardants, enhancing foam safety.
  • Peak heat release rate was significantly decreased, showcasing triethyl phosphate's effectiveness in enhancing fire resistance.
  • Analysis included different flame retardants, focusing on mechanical and thermal properties of rigid polyisocyanurate foam.
  • Findings suggest that liquid flame retardants provide better integration and thermal insulation than solid additives.
