Research on Preparation and Performance Tests of the Fire Retardant Coatings for Special Functionalized Wires and Cables
This study aimed to produce a new potential intumescent flame retardant system through the addition of titanium dioxide and alumina silica fibre on the basis of optimizing the traditional ammonium polyphosphate(APP)/melamine(MEL)/pentaerythritol(PER)intumescent flame retardant formula.The flame retardant capacity and the physical properties were fully analyzed and discussed.The produced flame retardant coating had the ability to resist the rapid rise in 1100 ℃ of high flame temperature,whereas 40 ℃ exceeded the national standards.Thus,the produced flame retardant coating in this study could be potentially further applied to the cables and wires that are frequently needed in petroleum,telecommunication,military,tunnel,and electric uses.
