Boron Phosphate Flame-retardant for Certain Resins

Flame retardants are materials that inhibit or resist the spread of fire. Adding these kind of materials to woods, textiles, polymers etc. decreses their flamability. The effectiveness of flame-retardants is measured by the change in the critical oxygen concentration. We studied the flame-retardant effect of boron phosphate and how it changes the LOI of some resines. If the concentration of BPO4 in the mixture with photomer resines increases up to 50%, LOI of resines increases from 15-18 to 32-38%.
