R. Delobel et al., INVARIANT VALUES OF KINETIC-PARAMETERS - EVALUATION OF FIRE RETARDANCY - APPLICATION TO THE PP-APP - PER SYSTEM, Die Makromolekulare Chemie. Macromolecular symposia, 74, 1993, pp. 59-69
A method allowing the determination of the formulation leading to the
best fire retardancy properties is presented in the case of intumescen
t systems. The method consists in the determination of invariant physi
cochemical parameters deduced from TG analysis: invariant activation e
nergy and invariant preexponentiel factor. The relation between the va
lues given by an evaluation test (LOI) and the invariant activation en
ergy is then discussed.
