Combustion property analysis of flame-retardant PVC wallpaper based on cone calorimeter
Cone calorimeter was used to evaluate the combustion properties of flame-retardant PVC wallpaper.Combustion properties of flame-retardant PVC wallpaper were compared with that of not-flame-retardant PVC wallpaper.The mass of sample was 10 g,the environment temperature was 22 ℃ and the relative humidity was 74 %.The bottom of sample was covered by Aluminum foil and the sample was played horizontally in the sample pool.Compared with non-flame-retardant PVC wallpaper,time to ignition of flame-retardant PVC wallpaper prolonged from 5 s to 8 s,and time of combustion of it prolonged from 203 s to 234 s.Peak of heat release rate reduced by 20.7%,time to reach the peak of heat release rate prolonged for 10 s,and averages of heat release rate decreased by 22.7%.Total heat release was greatly reduced.Smoke release rate decreased.Averages and peak of yields of CO and CO2 reduced.Also,averages and peak of mass loss rate were smaller and time to reach the peak of mass loss rate was prolonged.
