95-019, Title: Environmentally Safe Fire Reardant, Description:
Researchers in the Fire Science Division at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology have developed a new type of fire retardant
additive based on silica and other inorganics for plastic and cellulose
materials. These non-halogenated additives control the flammability of
polymers by increasing the amount of char created in the initial
burning process. Char formation reduces the amount of small, volatile
polymer pyrolysis fragments, or fuel, available for burning in the gas
phase. This, in turn, reduces the amount of heat feedback to the
polymer surface. The char also insulates the underlying virgin
polymer. Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0644 19950720\SP-0003.MSC)
