The synergistic effect of hybrid flame retardants on pyrolysis behaviour of hybrid composite materials
Albdiry, M.T1, Almosawi, A.I2, Yousif, B. F3.
The aim of this investigation is to comprehensively understand the polymeric
composite behavior under direct fire sources. The synergistic effects of hybrid
flame retardant material on inhabiting the pyrolysis of hybrid reinforced fibers,
woven roving (0°- 45°) carbon and kevlar (50/50 wt/wt), and an araldite resin
composites were studied. The composites were synthesised and coated
primarily by zinc borate (2ZnO.3B2O3.3.5H2O) and modified by antimony
trioxide (Sb2O3
) with different amounts (10-30 wt%) of flame retardant
materials. In the experiments, the composite samples were exposed to a direct
flame source generated by oxyacetylene flame (~3000ºC) at variable exposure
distances of 10-20 mm. The synergic flame retardants role of antimony trioxide
and zinc borate on the composite surface noticeably improves the flame
resistance of the composite which is attributed to forming a protective mass and
heat barrier on the composite surface and increasing the melt viscosity.
