Investigation of the Fire Endurance of Borated Polyethylene Shielding Material

K. L. Foote

We conducted nine experiments to investigate the fire endurance of a borated polyethylene shielding material to be used in the Engineering Demonstration System. Several chemistry tests were also done. The shielding material was found to melt at 93.5 deg C, decompose at 230 deg C, and ignite at 350 deg C. Five fire tests were done in a realistic configuration and four tests in a pessimistic configuration. The material easily passed all nine tests. In each case, the shielding material never reached ignition temperature and was found acceptable in this proposed application. 7 refs., 10 figs., 3 tabs. (ERA citation 13:047004)
