IGNITION RESISTANT STRUCTURES CONTAINING NON-GRAPHITIC CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL AND AN ORGANO-SILICONE POLYMER

摘要

A means for improving the fire resistance of carbonaceous polymeric substance comprising a non-graphitic carbonaceous polymeric material having an LOI value greater than 40, produces a char formation greater than 65% and a thermoconductivity less than 1 BTU ft/Hr ft2 DEG F. by utilizing an organosilicone polymer in an amount to provide ignition resistance. Also, there is provided a means for improving the fire resistance and thermal stability of resins and polymers.
