Influence of Flame Retardants on the Melt Dripping Behaviour of Thermoplastic Polymers

Influence of Flame Retardants on the Melt Dripping Behaviour of Thermoplastic Polymers

Melt flow and dripping of the pyrolysing polymer melt can be both a benefit and a detriment during a fire. In several small-scale fire tests addressing the ignition of a defined specimen with a small ignition source, well-adjusted melt flow and dripping are usually beneficial to pass the test. The p...
