Sm. Lomakin et al., A NEW-TYPE OF SILICON-CONTAINING ADDITIVES REDUCING COMBUSTIBILITY OFPOLYMERS, CHEMICAL PHYSICS REPORTS, 16(11), 1997, pp. 2071-2077
The effect of a fire retarding (binary) Si/SnCl2 system on burning of
polypropylene and nylon 6,6 is studied. The system is shown to behave
as an efficient inhibitor of gas-phase combustion. Compositions with t
his additive not only possess better fireproof properties than the bas
e polymers, but also are low-polluting systems.
