<p>Disclosed is a coextruded, fire-resistant, composite structure of adjacent, alternating first and second layers wherein the first layer comprises a thermoplastic foam and second layer a thermoplastic material with such second layers containing a quantity of a brominated fire retardant sufficient to enhance the flame retardancy of the composite structure. Incorporation of the fire retardant into the thermoplastic material layers allows a fire-resistant foam structure to be made using water as a blowing agent for the first layers while avoiding serious corrosion problems encountered when incorporating both brominated fire retardants and water in the same foam structure. Further disclosed is a process for making the above composite structure. Further disclosed is a composite flow melt expandable into the above-described composite structure.</p> |
