Introduction Of Flame Retardants

Flame retardants are chemicals used to inhibit ignition, prevent combustion, or extinguish flames. They work through various mechanisms depending on their type-

Inhibition of Ignition and Combustion

Flame retardants can alter the polymer’s nature near the flame, preventing it from igniting or burning.

Vapour-Phase Action

These flame retardants interfere with free radical mechanisms or reduce the availability of flammable gases and oxygen, thus hindering the combustion process.

Condensed-Phase Action

Active in the molten polymer near the flame, these retardants disrupt thermal degradation processes.

Intumescent Systems

Common in flame-retarded coatings, these systems puff up in the presence of flame to form charrable foams that help to insulate and protect the underlying material.
