TY - CONF A1 - Schartel, Bernhard T1 - Flame retardancy of polyolefins a bunch of thoughts N2 - After introducing into the activities and competence of BAM in the field of fire science, several aspects of successful and tailored flame retardancy of polyolefins are discussed. The talk gives an overview of the works relevant for developing flame retardant polyolefins performed in the working group flame retardancy of polymers. The hypothesis of conservation of effective heat of combustion is proposed. The role of charring, inert fillers, protection layer, and intumescence is assessed for flame retarded polyolefins. Distinct routes of optimization sketched. Examples of controlling the dripping and melt flow to obtain the desired fire behaviour are discussed. Finally the cable modul for the cone calorimeter is presented.
