Abstract

Abstract:

Improving flame retardant properties of wood plastic composite material(WPC) has become one of the research hotspots of WPC in recent years. In this paper, the flame-retardant synergistic effects of eight kinds of synergists on intumescent flame retardants(IFRs, m(polyphosphate, APP):m(pentaerythritol, PER)=2:1) were studied by two rounds of orthogonal experiments. The synergist group MgO/EG(expandable graphite)/SiO₂with a significant synergistic flame retardant effect on the IFRs was obtained. The composition of MgO/EG/SiO₂is m(MgO):m(EG):m(SiO₂)=1:5:5, optimum proportion of m(IFRs):m(MgO/EG/SiO₂) is 1:0.18. The influence of IFRs and MgO/EG/SiO₂ on thermal stability and flame-retardant properties of polypropylene based wood-plastics composite(WPC) was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) and cone calorimetry analysis(CONE). The results show that adding IFRs and MgO/EG/SiO₂ to WPC can improve its thermal stability effectively, and the char residue of WPC/IFRs/MgO/EG/SiO₂ at 600 ℃ reaches to 22.42%. The peak heat release rate(PHRR), the total heat release(THR) and total smoke production release(TSP) of WPC/IFRs reduce by 19.0%, 8.7% and 22.1%, respectively, compared with WPC. MgO/EG/SiO₂ can further improve the flame retardant efficiency of IFRs, and the PHRR and THR of WPC/IFRs/MgO/EG/SiO₂ drop by 33.0% and 13.8%, respectively, compared with WPC.
