Expandable Graphite for Flame Retardant PA6 Applications. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2021 A new expandable graphite (EG) type was studied as a flame retardant additive in Polyamide 6 (PA6). The fire behavior was characterized by a cone calorimeter using external heat fluxes of 35, 50 and 65 kW/m2, limiting the oxygen index (LOI) and UL-94 burning tests.
