The principal actions of a flame retardant are to decrease or prevent the formation of volatile products and increase the formation of char layer. Use of flame retardant additives can decrease the overall fire hazard of the product containing them thus leading to an increase in overall fire safety. Although several flame retardants have been developed for use in polymers, many of these are known to increase the amount of smoke and toxic gases generated by them. This paper present a new flame retardant using metal addition flame retardant. For this study, the experiments of flame retardancy conducted are as follows : burning ratio, weight loss rate using TGA-DTA, the measurement of LOI and char yield. And smoke mass concentration and CO yield were measured. The metal addition flame retardant reduced burning ratio and weight loss rate, increased the LOI and yield of char formation with decreased smoke mass concentration and CO yield.

In this study, the mechanical and flame-retardant properties of ethylene-propylene-diene-termonomer (EPDM) based rubber compounds and various other environmentally friendly inorganic flame retardants were investigated. Alumina trihydrate (ATH) and magnesium hydroxide (MDH) were used as inorganic flame retardants. The mechanical properties after thermal oxidation aging and the flame-retardant properties of the EPDM compounds were measured using a moving die rheometer, a universal testing machine, a compression set, and a UL 94 V flammability test. We focused on how the properties were affected by the type and amount of flame retardants. The results demonstrated that the optimal mechanical and flame-retardant V-0 grade properties were obtained at an ATH content of 200 phr.

Due to pronounced mechanical performance and being environmental friendly, aqueous polymer isocyanate adhesive (API) has been widely applied in the production of formaldehyde-free wood products. In this study, flame retardant formaldehyde-free plywood was prepared by incorporation of flame retardants into the API adhesive. Partially phosphorylated poly (vinyl alcohol) (PPVA) which was prepared by reacting poly (vinyl alcohol) with phosphoric acid was used to replace PVA in API formula. In addition, Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) was chosen as additive flame retardant, replacing traditional filler CaCO₃ in API adhesive formula. And then, the flame retardant API adhesive with main agent (PPVA replacing PVA70wt.%, SBR emulsion 30wt.%), curing agent 10wt.% (accounts for of the main agent), and 20wt.% LDHs (accounts of the main agent) was used to prepare flame retardant plywood. The effect of application of PPVA and Mg-Al LDH on bonding strength of plywood was investigated. The flammability characteristics of the plywood were determined by cone calorimeter test (CCT). The results revealed that compared with the plywood prepared with API adhesive, the use of PPVA and LDH enhanced the flame retardancy of plywood without negatively affecting bonding strength. The CCT tests indicated that the heat release and smoke production flame retardant API plywood were lower than those of the ordinary API glued plywood. Promising developments for flame retardant API adhesive were expected in future applications of flame retardant formaldehyde-free plywood.

In this study, a novel phosphorus-containing flame retardant copolymer of spirocyclic pentaerythritol di(phosphate monochloride) and bisphenol S (SPD-BS) was successfully synthesized and used as a flame retardant in diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) epoxy resins. The chemical structure of the SPD-BS was characterized using FT-IR and $^1H$ NMR spectra. The thermal properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The effects of SPD-BS and nano-$CaCO_3$ on the flame-retardant properties of DGEBA/SPD-BS systems were evaluated by measurement of the burning rate. As a result, the thermal stabilities of the DGEBA/SPD-BS systems were decreased with increasing SPD-BS content. The flame-retardant properties and char yields of the systems were significantly increased when SPD-BS content increased. The synergism of nano-$CaCO_3$ incorporation on flame retardancy was found for the DGEBA/SPD-BS systems.

다층·다성분 난연성 케이블의 화재시뮬레이션에서 요구되는 연소물성이 콘 칼로리미터를 통해 측정되었다. 난연성 케이블의 주요 재질에 따른 CO 및 Soot yields 그리고 연소열이 검토되었다. 케이블의 난연성능이 우수한 TFR-8(고난연성 PCV 및 XLPE 첨가), TFR-CVV-SB(고난연성 PCV 및 일반 PVC로 구성) 및 VCTF가 각각 대상으로 고려되었다. 주요 결과로서, 난연성케이블인 TFR-8과 TFR-CVV-SB는 입사 복사열유속이 25 kW/㎡에서 50 kW/㎡으로 증가됨에 따라 CO yield(y_CO) 는 각각 23% 와 16% 증가한다. 반면에 VCTF의 CO yield는 복사 열유속의 변화에 큰 영향을 받지 않는다. 마지막으로 Soot yield 및 연소열은 시스의 재질(난연성능)이 강화될수록 복사 열유속에 의한 차이가 증가됨이 확인되었다. 따라서 다양한 열유속이 공존하는 화재환경에서 난연성 케이블의 연소물성의 적용에는 상당한 주의가 요구된다.

열가소성 수지인 폴리프로필렌 (PP)과 무기나노입자인 몬모릴로나이트 (MMT)의 나노복합재료에 할로젠 계열의 난연제 데카브로모다이페닐옥사이드 (DBDPO)와 클로로파라핀 왁스 (CPW)를 철가하였을 때의 난연특성 향상에 대해 실험하였다. 고분자 수지의 난연특성은 난연제의 첨가뿐만 아니라 나노복합화를 통해서도 향상될 수 있는데, 콘 칼로리미터와 한계산소지수 (LOI)의 측정을 통하여 난연제와 무기나노입자의 함량에 따른 폴리프로필렌/몬모릴로나이트 나노복합재료의 난연특성을 정량적으로 측정하였다. 폴리프로필렌에 난연제 DBDPO와 CPW를 첨가하였을 때, 난연특성이 2배 이상 향상되는 것을 관찰하였으며, CPW가 DBDPO보다 약간 우수한 난연특성을 보였다. 한계산소지수 측정결과 폴리프로필렌에 난연제를 첨가하면 폴리프로필렌의 연소특성이 가연성 영역 (LOI<19)에서 난연성 영역 (LOI>20)으로 전이됨을 확인하였다. 특히, 폴리프로필렌에 몬모릴로나이트를 첨가하여 나노복합화를 하였을 때의 난연특성이 3배 이상 향상되었는데, 이로부터 난연제를 단순히 혼합하는 것보다 몬모릴로나이트를 나노복합화한 후 난연제를 첨가하는 것이 난연특성의 향상에 휠씬 유리하였다.

본 연구에서는 EPDM 고무를 기지재로 사용하여 유기 난연제에 따른 난연 특성을 살펴보았다. EPDM 원료 고무에 카아본블랙, 스테아르산, 산화아연 가교제 등을 배합하여, 난연제가 첨가되지 않은 EPDM 고무 혼합물인 E0를 제조하였다. E0에 인계 난연제인 Tricresyl phosphate(TCP)를 인 함량이 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 phr로 변량 첨가하여 E1~E4를 제조하였고, 적인을 인 함량이 3, 6, 9, 15 phr로 변량 첨가하여 E5~E8를 제조하였다. 또한 브롬계 난연제인 데카브로모디페닐옥사이드(DBDPO)와 염소계 난연제인 염화파라핀은 각각 브롬과 염소 함량을 3, 6, 9, 15 phr로 변량 첨가하여 E9~E12와 E13~E16을 각각 제조하였다. 난연제의 종류에 따라 제조된 고무시료의 인장 및 인열, 경도 등의 기본 물성을 시험하였으나, 난연제 함량에 의한 이들 변화는 커다란 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 난연 특성을 알아보기 위한 산소지수 시험에서는 E0의 산소지수가 23.5%를 나타내었으며, 난연제를 첨가한 고무의 산소지수는 23.7~28.5%를 나타내어서 난연 특성이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 UL94의 수평법에 의한 시험에서 난연제로 적인을 사용한 EPDM 고무 혼합물의 난연 효과가 가장 우수함을 확인 할 수 있었고 반면 TCP를 첨가한 고무 혼합물의 경우, 블리딩(Bleeding)현상이 심하여 시험 결과의 재현성을 얻지 못하였다. 전반적으로 난연제의 종류에 관계없이 함량 증가에 따라 연소율이 감소하였고 난연 효과가 향상됨을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the economic effects of a flame retardant aluminum screen developed by a company Economic effects were analyzed in terms of micro and macro-economic aspects. In the macro-economic aspect, economic effects were analyzed under the assumptions that the total import volume of flame retardant aluminum screen was approximately $50m^2$ in 2015 and that possible import substitution rates were 100%, 80%, and 60%. Results showed economic values of 2.25 billion won (100% import substitution rates), 1.8 billion won (80% import substitution rates), and 1.35 billion won (60% import substitution rates). If existing farms which had been using imported flame retardant aluminum screen replaced it newly developed with the flame-retardant aluminum screen developed in this study at rates of 100%, 80%, and 60%, the farms could save 750 million won, 60 million won, and 45 million won, respectively. Furthermore, the social cost savings from fire prevention could be 1.184 billion won. In the micro-economic aspect, if a farm with a typical-size ($1,000m^2$) greenhouse growing red pepper wanted to install flame retardant aluminum screen instead of generic aluminum screen, the farm may only pay an additional cost of 720,000 won. In comparison, if the farm chose fire insurance instead of flame-retardant aluminum screen, then the farm would pay 21,000,000 won for fire insurance. The above results show that the economic effect of flame retardant aluminum screen developed by the company would be be very efficient compared to the imported one.

In this study, the effect on flame retardancy and various physical properties when TiO₂ was added with a citric acid/phosphate complex acid catalyst together with Pyrovatex CP new (N-methylol dimethylphosphonopropionamide), a phosphorus-based flame retardant, was studied on cotton fibers. SEM-EDS analysis was performed to confirm the surface characteristics and surface element analysis of the flame-retardant treated cotton fibers, and a vertical carbonization test was performed to confirm the char formation capability and flame retardancy according to the phosphoric acid ratio. By comparing the LOI index before and after washing 10 times, the washing durability of the flame retardant solution containing the phosphoric acid catalyst and TiO₂ was tested by LOI index after ten washing cycles. In addition, the influence of the flame-retardant processing on the physical properties were compared including thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), tear strength and whiteness.
