  • fire resistance and mechanical properties of a huntite hydromagnesite antimony triOxide Decabromodiphenyl Oxide filled pp pe copolymer
    Polymer Degradation and Stability, 1996
    Co-Authors: Birane Toure, José-marie Lopez Cuesta, Pierre Gaudon, Ali Benhassaine, A. Crespy
    Abstract:

    A natural mineral filler containing mainly huntite and hydromagnesite together with a blend of antimony triOxide (Sb2O3) and Decabromodiphenyl Oxide (DBDPO) was used to reduce the flammability of an ethylene-propylene copolymer. At the same time it was desirable to improve the stiffness of the copolymer without damaging its impact resistance even at high filler content. All the components and the resulting composites were studied by differential thermal (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Specific flammability tests and mechanical tests were also carried out on the composites. The influence of the mineral filler and/or the Sb2O3/DBDPO blend on copolymer properties was investigated. The best results were obtained by combining both of the main components to give 25% mineral filler and 20% Sb2O3/DBDPO blend.

  • thermal behavior and flammability of epoxy glass fiber composites containing clay and Decabromodiphenyl Oxide
    Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2013
    Co-Authors: L N Chang, M Jaafar, W S Chow
    Abstract:

    Epoxy/glass fiber hybrid composites with organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) and Decabromodiphenyl Oxide (DBDPO) flame retardants were prepared by vacuum-assisted resin infusion technique. The effects of OMMT and DBDPO on the flammability properties of epoxy/glass fiber hybrid composites were evaluated through UL-94 vertical flammability test and limiting oxygen index (LOI). Thermal decomposition was studied by means of thermogravimetric analyzer (TG). Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was used to study the char morphology of the epoxy hybrid composites after being subjected to UL-94 vertical flammability test. Epoxy/glass fiber/OMMT hybrid composites with DBDPO loading of 40 wt% showed V-1 rating, whereas an increase to 50 wt% loading showed V-0 rating. The LOI values increased from 22.7 to 39.9 % as the loading of DBDPO increased. The obtained TG results showed that the thermal stability of epoxy hybrid composites decreased as the DBDPO loading increased. DBDPO decomposed at a lower temperature to form bromine radicals, which reacted with the combustible gases to form hydrogen bromide to inhibit the flame spread in the gas phase. The condensed phase activity was shown in FESEM, in which a layer of compact and continuous char was formed in epoxy/glass fiber/OMMT/DBDPO hybrid composites.
