Abstract
In this work we study the thermal behavior of an ammonium polyphosphate-pentaerythritol mixture, fire-retardant additive for polyolefins and most particularly the carbonization process resulting from an intumescent phenomenon. The study has been carried out using Micro-Raman and 13C, 1H, 31P NMR of the solid state spectroscopies. It is shown that the structure consists in phoscarbonaceous and polyaromatic species. These latter form an anisotropic structure above 280°C. This structure grows when the temperature increases. Finally, a reactional scheme of the carbonization of the intumescent system is proposed.
