The Use of clay in an EVA-Based Intumescent Formulation. Comparison with The Intumescent Formulation Using Polyamide-6 clay Nanocomposite As Carbonisation Agent

摘要

this work deals with the use of clay as a filler in an intumescent EVA-based formulation using a charring polymer (polyamide-6) as a carboniza- Tion agent. Using PA-6 clay nanocomposite instead of pure PA-6 had been shown To improve the fire properties of the intumescent blend. In this study, using clay As a "classical" filler enabled the same level of FR performance to be obtained in The first step of the combustion as when directly using exfoliated clay in PA-6.
