Fire phenomena of rigid polyurethane foams
- This work investigates the fire phenomena of rigid polyurethane foams (RPUF) in detail. To elucidate structure-property relationships systematically varied sets of foams were prepared. RPUF were synthesized with different densities using water and pentane as blowing agent. What is more, a flame retarded RPUF and rigid polyisocyanurate-polyurethane foams were examined. The comprehensive understanding of the processes taking place during combustion is the foundation of customized development of successful flame retardant approaches. Advanced cone calorimeter investigations provide insight into the fire behavior under forced flaming conditions. Thermocouples in the inside of specimens give information about the temperature gradient and temperature of the pyrolysis zone during combustion. Furthermore, fire phenomena were characterized using SEM, LOI and thermal analysis. By using a multi-methodological approach and systematically varied sets of foam materials, new insights into theThis work investigates the fire phenomena of rigid polyurethane foams (RPUF) in detail.

Furthermore, fire phenomena were characterized using SEM, LOI and thermal analysis. By using a multi-methodological approach and systematically varied sets of foam materials, new insights into the burning of RPUF were won. The detailed knowledge of fire phenomena is essential for future development of tailored flame retardant strategies for RPUF.…
