Description
Summary:The burning of several thermally thin polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polymethyI methacrylate, poly 4-methyl 1-pentene and starch and thermally thick polymers such as polymethyl methacrylate and plywood has been conducted in a cone calorimeter. The three main heat release rate patterns after the ignition were observed, namely 1) the steady increase almost to the flame out 2) stationary burning and 3) immediate decay from the maximum that are typical for 1) polyolefins and polystyrene 2) polymethyl methacylate 3) polysaccharide materials. In the latter case glowing of the formed char due to the better approach of oxygen to the surface was superposed with the decay before the flame extinction. Nonisothermal thermogravimetry runs in air were shown to be related to time to ignition in cone calorimeter experiments.
