Intumescent foams - A novel flame retardant system for flexible polyurethane foams

Andersson, Anna LU ; Magnusson, Anders ; Troedsson, Suzanne ; Lundmark, Stefan LU and Maurer, Frans LU (2008) In Journal of Applied Polymer Science 109(4). p.2269-2274
Abstract
A combination of intumescent components was evaluated as a novel flame retardant system in a flexible polyurethane foam, and the incorporation of these components gave rise to a significant enhancement of the flame retardant properties of the foam. The heat release rate was lowered at an early stage as well as throughout the fire, the total heat production was decreased and the time to ignition was prolonged. Mechanical measurements of the foam revealed enhanced properties in terms of stiffness accompanied by a large decrease in elongation at break as compared with a reference foam.
