Abstract

Flexible polyurethane foam has been treated with borax, expanded graphite (EG), EG/borax as flame retardant, respectively. The thermal degradation of samples has been studied by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermogravimetry (DTG) in air. From the resulting data, kinetic parameters for different stages of thermal degradation are obtained following the method of Broido. For the decomposition of flexible polyurethane foam and flame retardant flexible polyurethane foam, the activation energy is found to increase from 21.8 to 37.6 kJmol-1, which shows the good flame retardance of these compounds.
