Ge. Zaikov et Sm. Lomakin, INNOVATIVE TYPE OF LOW FLAMMABILITY VARNISH BASED ON POLY(VINYL ALCOHOL), Polymer degradation and stability, 57(3), 1997, pp. 279-282
A new type of polymer varnish (coating) has been developed, based on p
oly(vinyl alcohol) oxidized by potassium permanganate in water solutio
n. The flammability of this coating was tested using a cone calorimete
r. All tests indicated an increase in the frame retardancy of this pol
ymer coating due to carbonization of cross-linked polymer fragments. (
