- Abstract
- Experiments are performed on five different types of plastics, one condensed and the others cellular, in order to discover some of their flammability characteristics in an opposed jet diffusion flame (OJDF) apparatus. Included in the plastics studied are polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), three varieties of flexible polyurethane foams including one with a flame retardant, and a rigid phenolic foam.
