Abstract
The efficiency of new phosphinates, in combination with melamine cyanurate, was studied using different polypropylene textile structures. The influence of different ratios up to a total amount of 6 wt% in the polypropylene fiber was investigated using the limiting oxygen index (LOI) and cone calorimeter method for research purposes, while the performances were correlated to the standards FMVSS 302 (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) and DIN 4102-l (Deutsches Institut für Normung) used more specifically for automotive and building sector.
Highlights
The world consumption of polyolefins and, polypropylene (PP), represented more than 50 million tons in 2009 and is estimated to have had an average annual growth rate of 4% for the Polymers 2015, 7 period from 2010 to 2020 [1]
The aim of this article is to present the main results obtained by using this new mixture of phosphinates (MPh), in combination with classical nitrogen synergist agent, melamine cyanurate (MC), in different polypropylene textile structures
This work presents the way to develop a new masterbatch from the theoretical concept to the final product
Summary
The world consumption of polyolefins and, polypropylene (PP), represented more than 50 million tons in 2009 and is estimated to have had an average annual growth rate of 4% for the Polymers 2015, 7 period from 2010 to 2020 [1]. The needs of consumer protection, coupled with the new regulations and environmental concerns, require the development of more eco-friendly flame-retardant treatments for PP fibers. Improvements in flame retardancy of the fiber-forming polymers, including PP, have become increasingly important in recent years, to comply with the safety requirements of textile products for automotive and home furnishing [2]. Flammability of PP fibers represents one of the main drawbacks for the use of this polymer, due to its aliphatic hydrocarbon structure. This combustible material ignites spontaneously and can be ignited at about 360 and 345 °C, respectively. A high amount of additive is required, about 60 wt% and 25 wt% to
