Abstract
During the process of Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding（VARTM）making flame retardant wind turbines nacelle, the viscosity of unsaturated polyester resin（UPR）with reactive flame retardant groups is too large to be used in VARTM process. In this paper, a large amount of tests were conducted by the way of adding flame retardant of Dimethyl methyl phosphate(DMMP) so as to make the resin fit for VARTM processing properties requirements as well as increase its flame retardant properties to a higher level. The results showed that, when the content of DMMP was 12%, the resin could be provided with lower viscosity with a reduction of 50.3%, making it possible for the resin to be used in vacuum import process. When the content of DMMP reached 12%, LOI of the casting body reached 31.6, with LOI of glass fiber reinforced plastic of 37.0%, the vertical burning classification of which reached V-0 level without significant drop on mechanical properties of fiberglass reinforced plastics(GFRP). Meet the requirements and provide a good material for flame-retardant wind turbines nacelle.
