Controlled-atmosphere cone calorimeter studies of silicones

A controlled‐atmosphere cone calorimeter was used to investigate the burning of a silicone fluid and two silicone elastomers. The silicone materials were tested at 50 kW/m2 incident heat flux in environments containing 15–30% oxygen. The test results were compared with a high molecular weight hydroc...

description A controlled‐atmosphere cone calorimeter was used to investigate the burning of a silicone fluid and two silicone elastomers. The silicone materials were tested at 50 kW/m2 incident heat flux in environments containing 15–30% oxygen. The test results were compared with a high molecular weight hydrocarbon fluid and an ethylene propylene rubber in terms of time to ignition, peak heat release rate and total heat released, carbon monoxide yield and carbon monoxide production rate, and smoke production and smoke production rate. The data from this study show that when materials burn in oxygen‐enriched, normal, and vitiated atmospheres, silicone‐based materials have a comparatively low peak heat release rate, total heat released, average CO production rate, and average smoke production rate as compared with organic‐based materials. The smoke production and smoke production rate of silicone elastomers can be significantly reduced by adding appropriate smoke suppressants and additives. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
