Abstract
In this study, the effect of halogen-phosphorus flame retardant on the flame retardancy and the mechanical properties of the rigid polyurethane foam (PUF) were studied. The reduced compressive strength and glass transition temperature of PUF decreased as contents of the flame retardant increased. After aging, the reduced compressive strength and glass transition temperature of PUF increased due to the reaction of unreacted isocyanate. The cell morphology effect of these flame retardants was also investigated using scanning electron microscope. The results of TCEP added to PUF showed an unstable and uneven cell morphology, leading to the increase of in thermal conductivity. The flame retardancy of vacuum aged PUF decreased compared to that of fresh PUF.
