Polystyrene with reduced flammability containing halogen-free flame retardants

Jankowski, P. / Kedzierski, M.

Polymer additives (flame retardants) were synthesized by a modification of expandable graphite (EG) with melamine salts (phosphate or cyanurate) and used for reduction of flammability of polystyrene prepared by suspension polymerization of styrene in the presence of the EG/melamine salt compounds. The resulting polystyrene matrix composites achieved horizontal FH-1 and vertical V-0 flammability ratings in the UL-94 burning test. Their limiting oxygen index values increased by over 50 % compared with the non-modified polystyrene. An advantageous effect of EG/melanine salt additives on the suppresion of polystyrene combustion processes was confirmed by cone calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis.
