Melamine polymers chemical reactivity

Commercial chemical fibers are combustible in nature, and improved FR properties must be considered in actual application. Most FR additives contain bromine (Br), chlorine (Cl), phosphorus (P), antimony, or aluminum. Among them, commonly used additives are additive brominated hydrocarbons and reactive brominated hydrocarbons, nonhalogenated phosphate esters, halogenated phosphate esters, trioxide antimony oxide, pentoxide antimony oxide and sodium derivatives, chlorinated hydrocarbons like chlorinated paraffin, and chlorinated cycloaUphatics. Others include chlorinated or brominated compounds, fluorinated compounds, magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, melamine, molybdenum compounds, silicone polymer, and zinc borate. Sometimes, polymers are chemically modified, and N, P, Cl, fluorine (F), silicon (Si), and Br elements can be introduced into the polymer main chain [49].
