The three different polymer compounds were manufactured with the three different fire retardant (silane coated magnesium dihydroxide) contents, 180, 200, 220 phr, for making cable sheath for ship industry. In the research, ethylene-vinylacetate, polyethylene as matrix polymers and ethylene-vinylacetate grafted maleic anhydride as coupling agent were selected for compounding with fire retardant, closslinking agent, plasticizer, and other additives. In the evaluation. ΔT, Mooney viscosity, and tensile strength increased with the content of fire retardant. But it was found that too much fire retardant damaged aging resistance and cold resistance of the polymer compound.

Shredded waste newspapers, waste acrylic raw fibers, and urea-formaldehyde (UF) adhesives, at 10% by weight on raw material, were used to produce recycled waste paper-waste acrylic raw fiber composite boards in laboratory scale experiments. The physical and mechanical properties of fire retardant treated recycled waste paper-waste acrylic raw fiber composite boards were examined to investigate the possibility of using the composites as internal finishing materials with specific gravities of 0.8 and 1.0, containing 5, 10, 20, and 30(wt.%) of waste acrylic raw fiber and 10, 15, 20, and 25(wt.%) of fire retardant (inorganic chemical, FR-7^®) using the fabricating method used by commercial fiberboard manufacturers. The bending modulus of rupture increased as board density increased, decreased as waste acrylic raw fiber content increased, and also decreased as the fire retardant content increased. Mechanical properties were a little inferior to medium density fiberboard (MDF) or hardboard (HB), but significantly superior to gypsum board (GB) and insulation board (IB). The incombustibility of the fire retardant treated composite board increased on increasing the fire retardant content. The study shows that there is a possibility that composites made of recycled waste paper and waste acrylic raw fiber can be use as fire retardant internal finishing materials.

This study investigates fire-retardant performances and combustion/thermal characteristics of fire-retardant treated wood by comparing them with those of fire-retardant untreated wood from the expreimental resutls of cone calorimeter and thermo-gravimetric(TG) analyzer. Hazardousness of combustion product gases for fire-retardant treated wood and untreasted wood were also observed from the results of internal finish material incombustibility test according to the Korea standard code of KS F 2271. In this study, we also tried to improve the fire retardant performance of wood by applying fire-retardant chemical composites, and to secure the fire safety performance in buildings. Red pine (Pinus densiflora) was selected as a test specimen because it is mostly used as a building material in Korea. Fire retardant chemical composites (FRCs) were prepared by mixing boron, phosphorous, and nitrogen species and treated by press-impregnation method. Water-based FRCs were composed of 3% boric acid($H_3BO_3$), 3% borax decahydrate($Na_2B_4O_7$), 8% ammonium carbonate($(NH_4)_2CO_3$), diammonium phosphate ($(NH_4)_2HPO_4$) varied from 10-30% and potassium carbonate($K_2CO_3$) varied from 10-30%. From the test results of cone calorimeter, TG analysis and gas hazard assessments, newly proposed were the optimal composition and production methods of FRCs which can sufficiently meet fire-retardant level 3 based on Korea law of construction. Thus, the FRCs, developed in this study, are anticipated to contribute to the improvement of fire safety and widespread of usage in wood as building materials.

Four different polymer compounds were manufactured to make cable sheaths for the shipping industry. Two kinds of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) as the main matrix polymers and EVA-grafted maleic anhydride (EVA-g-MAH) as the coupling agent were selected for compounding with fire retardant, crosslinking agent, filler, plasticizer, and other additives. The properties of the four compounded materials were investigated with different contents of the fire retardant, silanecoated magnesium dihydroxide (S-MDH). In the rheology evaluation, the $t_{60}$ and ${\Delta}T$ values increased with increasing S-MDH contents. On the other hand, the tensile strength decreased with increasing S-MDH content due to a relative decrease in binder polymers. With increasing S-MDH content, fire resistance increased, but cold resistance showed no obvious enhancement due to the polar effect of vinyl acetate in EVA.

Two kinds of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) were selected as main matrix polymers for compounding with fire retardant, crosslinking agent, filler, plasticizer, and other additives. The properties of the four compounded materials were investigated with the contents of fire retardant, silane coated aluminum hydroxide (S-ATH). Rheology, Mooney viscosity, and tensile strength increased with S-ATH contents by reinforcing effect. With increasing fire retardant amount, fire resistance increased, but cold resistance didn't show an obvious enhancement due to polar effect of vinyl acetate in EVA.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the flame retardant performance of Japanese cypress(Chamaecyparis obtusa) plywood, commonly used in indoor decoration, furniture, and tableware, by treating it with three different fire retardants with different primary ingredients. The experiment was conducted in compliance with Article 31, Paragraph 2 of the Enforcement Decree of the Fire Facilities Installation and Management Act and Articles 4 and 7-2 of the Flame Retardant Performance Standards. After flame time, after glow time, char length, and char area were measured. As a result, first, after flame time was measured at 0 seconds regardless of whether the flame retardant treatment was applied. Second, after glow time was relatively long, measuring 22.7 seconds without treatment, which is likely due to the weak fire resistance and high concentration of carbon monoxide generated by the chemical characteristics of the Japanese cypress itself. Third, it was confirmed that the effects of the primary ingredient, phosphorus, in the flame retardant treatment varied depending on the technological development of the manufacturers of the same species of Japanese cypress plywood. In the future, it is expected that the results of this study will provide fundamental data to select flame retardant treatments that show high flame retardant performance according to the botanical characteristics of the wood.

본 연구는 화학보호복 원단들에 대하여 내화학성 및 난연성을 조사하기 위하여 ASTM 및 ISO의 방법을 이용하여 내화학성 및 화재위험성시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과 폴리에틸렌의 경우 전혀 난연성이 없는 것으로 분석되었지만 고무에 데카브롬 등 난연성 물질이 첨가된 불소고무 원단이 뛰어난 난연성을 보였다. 특히 현재 소방용 방열복으로도 사용되고 있는 알루미늄 필름에 아라미드원단을 라미네이팅한 원단이 가장 뛰어난 난연성을 보였다. 하지만 내화학성에 있어 알루미늄은 4% NaOH에 부식되는 결과를 보이고 있어 이를 극복하기 위한 방안으로는 다층의 베리어성 필름을 사용하는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료된다. 아울러 난연성 시험결과 알루미늄필름과 폴리머 베리어성 필름을 소재로 만든 Dual skin과 불소고무에 난연성 물질이 포함된 것을 소재로 만든 Single skin이 화학보호복으로 적합한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 열방호실험과 열전달지수실험결과 두께의 증가와 다층구조일수록 TPP와 HTI 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 화학 보호복 원단의 화재위험성 및 내화학성시험 등 지속적 연구와 보완이 적절한 화학보호복 원단 성능개선에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

To prepare the eco-friendly fire retardant wood, Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora), Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), and Radiata pine (Pinus radiata) were treated with inorganic chemicals, such as sodium silicate, boric acid, ammonium phosphate, and ammonium borate. Different combination and concentration of those chemicals were impregnated by vacuum/pressure treatment methods. The electron-beam treatment was used to increase the chemical penetration into the wood. The fire performance of the fire retardant treated wood was investigated. The penetration of chemicals into the wood was enhanced after electron beam treatment. Ignition time of the treated wood was the most effectively retarded by sodium silicate, ammonium phosphate, and ammonium borate. The most effective chemical combination was found at 50% sodium silicate and 3% ammonium borate, which satisfied flammability criteria for a fire retardant material in the KS F ISO 5660-1 standards.

건축물 내부의 장식을 위해 사용되는 MDF합판은 화염의 착화를 지연시키기 위해 방염처리하도록 규정하고 있어 일반적으로 방염도료나 방염액 또는 방염필름 등을 적용하여 착화를 지연시키는데 이 때 적용하는 시료에 따라 방염성능과 연소 시 발생되는 가스의 유독성의 차이가 발생할 수 있어 본 연구에서는 MDF에 적용된 방염시료들의 방염성능 및 연소특성에 대해 비교분석하였으며 그 결과 방염성능에 부합하는 제품이 확인되었으나 방염처리방법에 따라 방염성능의 차이가 존재함을 확인할 수 있었으며 연소과정에서 발생되어지는 여러 종류의 유독가스의 영향도 함께 고려해야 할 요소임을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 조선 및 화학공장 등 산업현장에서 용접·용단작업 공정에서 비산 되는 불티에 의한 화재 예방을 위하여 불티 차단막에 관한 방염 및 난연 성능 평가를 실시하였다. 방염성능 실험결과 기존제품의 용접불티 차단막 6종 모두 충분한 방염성능을 갖고 있었다. 그러나, 용접·용단 불꽃에 의한 난연성 실험 결과 섬유유리에 수지코팅한 제품 2종은 용접·용단 불티에 대한 화재예방성능이 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 용접 불티 차단막의 최소산소지수의 국내기준은 30이상으로 고려하는 것이 좋을 것으로 사료된다. 용접 불티 차단막의 성능향상을 위한 제속적인 연구가 필요하며, 방염 및 난연성능 기술지침 개발의 기초자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
