Choosing and optimizing a flame-retardant package for a polymer system
can be an involved, time-consuming process. Planning experiments usin
g a statistical design approach can provide an efficient framework for
systematically gaining information concerning the burn behavior of a
polymer system. This paper describes the use of statistically designed
experiments to develop a representation of the burn response for a po
lymer system containing several flame-retardant additives using UL94V
procedures.
