Heat release of polymer composites in fire
The relationship between heat release rate and other fire reaction properties of fibre reinforced polymer composite materials is investigated. The heat release rate and fire reaction properties of thermoset matrix composites reinforced with combustible fibres, aramid, extended-chain polyethylene or non-combustible fibres, glass, carbon were determined over a range of heat flux levels using the oxygen consumption cone calorimeter technique. The fire reaction properties that were measured were time-to-ignition, smoke density, carbon monoxide yield, carbon dioxide yield, mass loss rate and total mass loss. It is discovered that these reaction properties, apart from ignition time, are linearly related to the heat release rate for composites containing non-combustible fibres. When the reinforcement is combustible, the heat release rate only appears to be related to the carbon monoxide yield, mass loss rate and smoke density. The relationship between heat release rate with smoke density and carbon monoxide yield is important, the two reaction properties that influence the survival of humans in fire.
