Properties of Polyurethanes Based on Tall Oil Fatty Acids Ester with Different Types of Flame Retardants

Article Preview

Abstract:

To decrease the combustibility of polyurethanes based on tall oil fatty acids ester, additives of five different halogen- and phosphorus-containing flame retardants were used. The efficiency of the flame retardants was evaluated from the change in the thermal, mechanical and combustibility characteristics of the obtained polyurethanes. It has been found that the phosphorus-containing flame retardant Levagard 4090 N decreases the combustibility of polyurethane to the greatest extent.
