Flame retardants (EHC 192, 1997) (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) The flame- retarding effect is due, in all probability, to the oxidation of elemental phosphorus during the combustion process to phosphoric acid or phosphorus pentoxide. Flame retardancy is improved by flame retardants that cause the formation of a surface film of low thermal conductivity and/or high reflectivity, which reduces the rate of heating. Since flame retardants are often processed into polymers at elevated temperatures, consideration of the stability of the material at the temperature inherent to the polymer processing is needed, as well as on whether or not the material volatilizes at that temperature or during use. www.inchem.org.cob-web.org:8888 /documents/ehc/ehc/ehc192.htm   (14767 words)

Flame retardant products have to prove their effectiveness by fulfilling the requirements of standardized fire tests. Without fail, these tests demonstrate that the use of flame retardants inhibits ignition and reduces combustibility - particularly in the early stages of a fire, thus lengthening the potential escape time and providing additional time for corrective action to be taken. www.e1.greatlakes.com /fr/safety/jsp/fr_standards.jsp   (665 words)
