Investigation of the Properties of the Combustion Products Generated by Building Fires
Eleven polyvinyl chloride and seven polypropylene samples of different compositions were burned under non-flaming conditions and measurements were made of smoke particle size distributions, total smoke particulate mass generated, smoke mean particle diameter, smoke optical density, and sample weight loss. Measurements have also been taken for the polypropylene samples burned in a heated ventilation gas. Results show that the characteristics of the smoke particulates and sample weight loss behavior are affected by the presence or absence of different chemical additives for both PVC and polypropylene. Also, the burning and smoke characteristics of the polypropylene samples are influenced by the ventilation gas temperature.
