ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTThis work studied the effects of two flame retardants on the fire characteristics of flexible polyether foam samples. Various concentrations of two flame retardants melamine and tri ammonium orthophosphate have been successfully incorporated into flexible polyurethane foam. Results of the analyses carried out on the various foam samples showed that by appropriate incorporation of the two flame retardants, the flammability properties (After glow time (AGT), ignition time, flame duration t ...

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]The rising time occurs when foam mix starts to rise until it gets to a full block height. At this stage the isocyanate reacts with water to generate carbon dioxide which causes the rise. The formation of the carbon dioxide through the intermediate carbamic acids gives.RH = C = O + H – O – H RNH COOH RNH 2 + CO2The curing time is the reaction process that leads to completion of the polymerization reaction that is usually greater than 15 hours. Polyurethane can ei ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 13 ]The requirements for good catalytic activity are: (a) nucleophilic enough to attack the carbon of the isocy anate group, (b) ability to form an active hydrogen amine complex, and (c) solubility in water with the ability to form hydrogen bonds with water.Since electron accessibility is also usually measured by the basicity, the catalytic activity is found to generally increase as the basicity increase. Thus, a plot of pH vs. catalytic activity usually yields linear behavior. Howe ver, exception e ... Continue reading---

CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 5 ]4.3 Flame Propagation RateThe effects of the flame retardants on flame propagation rate of the polyurethane foam are shown in Table 8, fig. 5, from the results, it is obvious that the flame propagation rate reduced with the increase in concentration of the two flame retardants. However, tri ammonium orthophosphate showed a higher impact of reduction of the propagation rate more than melamine. Flame propagation rate is simply the velocity of the flame along the vertical length of the materi ... Continue reading---
