- Identifiers
- trends in flame retardant compounding: building a system of interactive ingredients; some perspectives on the problem; retardation of ignition by reflecting radiant heat; raising ignition temperature and effective heat capacity by providing heat sinks; taking advantage of the Damkohler number effect: removing the fuel from the combustion zone befort most has burned; shifting degradation pathway away from volatile fuel release to cross-linking and/or generation of vapors of low fuel value; rapid formation of barriers to heat and mass transfer; further consideration of charring - catalysis; special problems of catalyst design and possible solutions; introduction of polymeric additives to provide char; aintroduction of reactive cross-linding additives; improving the barrier quality by introducting heteroelements; physical reinforcement of the barrier; preventing oxidative destruction and smoldering of the barrier; formulating a flame retardancy and smoke suppression 'package'; structural aspect of flame retardancy - layer effects
