Analysis of the principle of a flame retardant

Flame retardants , simply, the object is to prevent combustion additives, the flame retardant effect can reduce the speed of the object and scope of combustion , and can not absolutely prevent burning objects , also known as flame- retardant agent, and therefore , the refractory  impact modifier agents or fire retardant . Our flame retardant into inorganic flame retardants , wood paper fabric flame retardant, fire retardant , brominated flame retardants four categories, flame retardant materials in different ways in different add retardant principle basically the same, with small series please go find out. ( 1 ) An article comprising a flame retardant can produce flame smothering extinguishing gas during combustion . Such as antimony trioxide, it encountered due to the combustion of HCL can react with Chrolinated polyethylene  a smothering gas quenching , namely antimony oxides of nitrogen in PVC , which play a flame effect. ( 2 ) the heat generated during combustion of the flame retardant material can absorb , from cooling effect of slowing the rate of combustion . Such as aluminum hydroxide , the proportion of the molecule which contains chemically bound water of up to 34 % of this bound water stable at processing temperatures of most plastics , but  PVC lubricant more than 200 ℃, begin to decompose , releasing water vapor. And every one mole of aluminum hydroxide decomposition , to absorb 36 kcal. ( 3 ) providing  a layer of oxygen barrier layer isolated , self-extinguishing due to the isolation of oxygen , such as the phosphate -based flame retardant that is generated by burning oxygen barrier phosphide barrier layer .
( 4 ) can generate free radicals react with the plastic , they can be the reaction product from the flame retardant plastics .
