Abstract

The information about the composition of fire gases or fire effluents resulting from burning processes or even thermal treatment of organic products is nowadays gaining more and more interest with regard to problems concerning the environmental protection respectively environmental pollution. For this purpose it is necessary to find suitable methods for the determination of the thermal properties and for the analysis of the decomposition products. Simultaneous thermal analysis mass spectrometric investigations and offline combustion experiments were carried out on different fire retardants and fire protected polymers. The sample materials were commercially available products like polyvinylchloride floor coverings (PVC), polyurethane foam from car seats (PU), PVC cable coatings and PU insulating foam and a series of selected fire retardants, for example: deeabromodiphenylether (DBDPE), tris-(fl-fl'diehloroisopropyl)-phosphate (TDCP), tris-(flchlor oisopr opyl)-phosphate (TCPP), tris-(fl-chloroethyl)-phosphate (TCEP), dimethyl-methylphosphonate (DMMP), diethyl-N,N-bis-(2hydroxy-ethyl)aminomethyl phosphonate (DAMP).
