Overview

Comparative study reveals thermal stability and performance of flame retardants in polyurethane foams, indicating enhanced fire safety.

Key Points

  • Enhanced thermal stability observed in foams with 60 wt.% Exolit OP 935 and ammonium polyphosphate.
  • Foams with 30 wt.% APP and melamine reached a limiting oxygen index of 26.4 vol.%.
  • UL-94 test showed V-0 rating for Exolit OP 935 and ammonium polyphosphate blends.
  • Hybrid flame retardants significantly reduced heat release rates, enhancing safety in construction applications.
