Tests on Insulative Barriers as a Method of Protecting Neoprene Core Mattresses
Tests were performed to determine the value of noncombustible insulative barriers as a method of protecting neoprene (chloroprene) mattress cores from igniting and contributing to a shipboard fire. The mattress systems were tested in the heat release rate calorimeter and in a quarter scale model compartment. Thicknesses of up to 44 mm (1-3/4 in) of ceramic fiber and glass fiber insulation were used to protect the cores. Although the insulation reduced the rate of heating of the core, it also served to raise interior temperatures by the effect of heat 'trapping' to a point where the core could continue to decompose and smolder after all exterior heat supply had been removed.
