## Abstract In this paper, a novel intumescent system including MP as well as PER/TPU which acts as composite charring agent, is adopted to flameโretarded PP. The encapsulation of charring agent PER by TPU effectively avoids the reaction of PER with MP during the compounding with PP at high tempera

Abstract
The flame retardation of polypropylene (PP) composites containing melamine phosphate (MP) and pentaerythritol phosphate (PEPA) was characterized by limiting oxygen index (LOI) and UL 94. The morphology of the char obtained from the combustion of the composites was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal degradation of the composites was investigated using thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and realโtime Fourier transform infrared (RTFTIR) spectroscopy. It has been found that the PP composites containing only MP do not show good flame retardancy even at 40% additive level. Compared with the PP/MP binary composites, all the LOI values of the PP/MP/PEPA ternary composites at the same additive loading increase, and UL 94 ratings of the ternary composites at suitable MP/PEPA ratios are raised to Vโ0 from no rating (PP/MP). The TG and RTFTIR studies indicate that the interaction occurs among MP, PEPA and PP. Copyright ยฉ 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
