Analysis of the influence of zinc stannates and keratin powder on the flammability properties of epoxy material
Abstract
This paper analyses the impact of selected flame retardant additives on the combustibility and fire properties of epoxy materials based on Epidian 5 (Ep 5). The prepared epoxy resin was modified to increase its fire resistance using zinc hydroxystannate(IV) (ZHS), zinc stannate(IV) (ZS) and waste material – keratin powder (KR). The cone calorimeter was used to determine the heat and smoke release rates of burning composite samples using heat flux density of 30 and 50 kW/m2. Also, thermogravimetric analysis of the flame retardant modified and non-modified epoxy materials was performed. It was found that fire retardant additives ZS and ZHS added to the epoxy resin Ep 5 effectively decreased the heat release rate of the burning samples of cured resin and could significantly limit the spread of fire.
