Flammability and Mechanical Properties of Intumescent Flame Retarded PP/EVA Composites

Abstract:

Flammability of polypropylene/vinyl acetate copolymer (PP/EVA) composites containing melamine phosphate (MP) and pentaerythritol (PER) was studied by limiting oxygen index (LOI), and UL 94. It is found that the LOI values decrease with the increase of EVA content in the PP/EVA composites. The thermal decomposition were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. Moreover, the mechanical properties of the PP/EVA composites were studied. Compared with the flame retarded PP/EVA composites, the incorporation of a small amount of the peroxide (DCP) into the flame retarded composites leads to an increase in both tensile properties and flame retardancy.
