Comparison of polymer flammabilities and a determination of the loss of fire retardant additives with aging
Conference

OSTI ID:6303822
An investigation, still in the early stages, on the flammability of two major types of commerical cable insulation formulations that are widely used in nuclear applications is described. The effects of thermal and radiation aging on the combustion properties of these polymeric materials are studied including an evaluation of the potential loss of fire retardant additives. The two polymer types being studied are chlorosulfonated polyethylene (Hypalon) and ethylenepropylene rubber (EPR). The fire retardant system used commercially with both of these polymers consists of two components: antimony trioxide and a chlorinated hydrocarbon.
