Use of Fluorine-Containing Compounds for Modification of Polycaproamide

The possibility of increasing the fireproof characteristics of fluorine-containing PCA by additional incorporation of phosphorus- and phosphorus—silicon-containing flame retardants was investigated. Samples of modified PCA with an oxygen index of 28-29% were obtained with these flame retardants. It was found that polyfluorinated alcohol—T-2 fireproofing compound and polyfluorinated alcohol—microencapsulated T-2 fireproofing compound systems alter the direction of the processes that take place in the basic stage of thermal decomposition of the polymer by decreasing the amount and rate of liberation of volatile products and alter the composition of the carbonized residue.
