✦ Synopsis

The effect of potassium aluminium sulphate, (hereafter referred to as alum) on the energy of pyrolysis/combustion of wood cellulose was investigated using thermogavimetric analysis (TGA). It was observed that the energy of pyrolysis of all the materials employed increases with flame retardant loading. Hence, alum functions as flame retardant (FR) by a complex process that entails the dehydration, condensed phase and vapour phase mechanisms. An attempt is -made to explain this fact.

The pyrolysis of nylon 6 has been shown to proceed by a first-order process to yield ccaprolactam as the primary product. This degradation has an energy of activation of approximately 46 kcal/mole which would seem to indicate the involvement of a homolytic process. Inclusion of organobromine compoun
