Most organic polymeric materials have high flammability, for which the large amounts of
smoke, toxic gases, heat, and melt drips produced during their burning cause immeasurable …

The objective of current research on intumescent formulations is on consolidated
approaches for conferring flame retardancy properties to polymers and polymer blends …

The application of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) in different types of commodity
thermoplastic composites (polyethylene, polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), poly (methyl …

This paper reviews recent approaches for making intumescent systems. The mechanisms of
action involving intumescence are described and commented on. Synergistic aspects using …

This paper provides an insight into some developments in flame retardants for different
polymeric materials in China, primarily based on the publications that have appeared in the …

Intumescent paints are specially formulated reactive coatings designed to swell or expand
into thick foamed char upon exposure to heat, protecting the substrates against fire by …

In this review article, different approaches of enhancing flame retardancy of polymeric
composite material and their effect on different composite properties are analysed critically …

A new triazine polymer was synthesized by using cyanuric chloride, ethanolamine and
ethylenediamine as raw materials. It is used both as a charring agent and as a foaming …

The flammability of polypropylene (PP) composites containing intumescent flame retardant
additives, ie melamine phosphate (MP) and pentaerythritol (PER), dipentaerythritol (DPER) …

The effects of fillers (talc and calcium carbonate) were investigated on polypropylene/
