This work investigates the fire phenomena of rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) in detail. To elucidate structure-property relationships, systematically varied sets of materials were prepared covering polyurethane, polyisocyanurate-polyurethane and flame retarded polyurethane foams. Advanced cone calorimeter investigations provide insight into the fire behavior under forced flaming conditions. Thermocouples inside specimens give information about the temperature gradient during combustion. Furthermore, fire phenomena were characterized using cross sections of quenched samples and the scanning electron microscope. By using a Multi methodological approach and systematically varied sets of foam materials, new insights into the burning of RPUFs were won. For the flame retarded foams, the dominant flame retardant mode of action changed with density. PIR foams exhibited a cellular structure in the residue leading to the superior fire performance compared to polyurethane foams. The understanding of fire phenomena contributes to future development of tailored flame retardant strategies for RPUFs.
A series of new flame retardants (FR) based on dibenzo[d,f][1,3,2]dioxaphosphepine 6-oxide (BPPO) incorporating acrylates and benzoquinone were developed previously. In this study, we examine the fire behavior of the new flame retardants in polyisocyanurate (PIR) foams. The foam characteristics, thermal decomposition, and fire behavior are investigated. The fire properties of the foams containing BPPO-based derivatives were found to depend on the chemical structure of the substituents. We also compare our results to state-of-the-art non-halogenated FR such as triphenylphosphate and chemically similar phosphinate, i.e. 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10- phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO), based derivatives to discuss the role of the phosphorus oxidation state.
This work investigates the fire phenomena of rigid polyurethane foams (RPUF) in detail. Rigid polyurethane foams (RPUF) are widely used in industry and daily life because of their outstanding mechanical and thermal insulating properties. In case of fire, cellular polymers like RPUF behave differently from bulk materials, the reason for this is their low thermal inertia. The aim of this study is to investigate the fire phenomena of RPUF in detail. Characterized by simultaneous physical and chemical processes which interact, depend, and compete with each other, the combustion of RPUF is a highly complex occurrence. Therefore it is necessary to study all aspects in detail. The fire phenomena that were examined are gasification, liquefaction, charring and structural integrity as well as collapse. 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. Changes in the morphology and thickness of the pyrolysis zone were examined using a hot-stage microscope, as well as SEM images of cross-sections of quenched foam specimens. Furthermore, fire phenomena were characterized using LOI and thermal analysis. By using a multimethodological approach and systematically varied sets of Polyurethane and Polyisocyanurate foams, 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.
