Polyolefins Fire Performance

Polyolefins When used in conjunction with a halogen-based flame retardant, this zinc borate can partially replace antimony oxide (30%-40%) and still maintain the same fire test performance. In addition, it can improve aged elongation properties, increase char formation, and decrease smoke generation. The B203 moiety in zinc borate can also provide afterglow suppression (Table 9.6). [Pg.219]

The general guideline for thermoplastics is that the greater the aromatic content, the greater the inherent fire resistance. Hence the fully aromatic thermoplastics (PPS, PES, PEEK, etc.) perform well on all the tests, without needing extraneous additives. Next in line are the semi-aromatic engineering plastics like PC, PBT, PET and the semi-aromatic nylons. Other nylons and polyolefins are less satisfactory. Nevertheless, nylon 6, 66 and 46... [Pg.54]
