A Novel Intumescent Flame‐Retardant Polyethylene System

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, 2006
AbstractSummary: A novel carbonization agent was synthesized and characterized. The flame retardancy and thermal behavior of a new IFR system with and without metal chelates for LDPE were investigated by LOI, UL‐94 test, and TGA. Metal chelates can remarkably improve the flame retardant performance of intumescent systems according to the tested results

Polyaniline as a dual flame retardant and electrostatic dissipative additive in polyethylene nanocomposites

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 339-355, March 2025.
Effecft of co‐doping polyaniline with phosphoric acid and phytic acid on the heat release rate of polyethylene. Abstract Polyolefins, such as polyethylene (PE), are highly flammable and electrically insulative, limiting their applicability. The study explored the flame‐retardancy and electrical conductivity of PE/polyaniline (PE/PANI) nanocomposites ...

The Reaction‐to‐Fire Performance of Intumescent Coating After Ageing by Thermal and Moisture Exposure

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 318-333, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Materials and products age with time and their properties change. It is known that, for example, the mechanical strength may be deteriorated from ageing. To understand the ageing effect on the fire behaviour of materials and products is important to maintain the safety level of the construction or application.

Enhancing Mechanical and Flame‐Retardant Properties of Huntite‐Hydromagnesite Reinforced Polypropylene Composites With Calcite, Zeolite and Intumescent Flame Retardants

SPE Polymers, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Thermal behavior of composites reinforced with synergistic materials. ABSTRACT As firefighting efforts increase daily, the use of fire‐resistant materials is also on the rise. However, those materials sometimes create other problems. The discovery that halogenated fire retardants are toxic is one example.
