Аннотация:In this work, we investigated polymer compositions based on epoxy resin cured with polyethylene polyamine and containing ammonium polyphosphate and boric acid as a blowing agent and carbonization stimulator. The UL 94 method was used to determine the ability of a material to burn or extinguish after flame treatment. We determined the ability of the material to burn or extinguish when exposed to a gas burner. Weight loss at characteristic temperatures was determined using a Perkin Elmer STA8000 synchronous DTA / TGA analyzer. The dependence of heat capacity on temperature was determined (calorimeter ITS-400). It has been shown that in modified compositions containing ammonium polyphosphate and boric acid, the heat capacity changes without significant jumps, which is due to a quieter flow of gas formation. The structure of intumescent coatings was studied using atomic force microscopy. The study was carried out on a P4-Solver device NT-MTD. Tests of the samples have shown that the addition of boric acid makes it possible to obtain a more ordered structure of the coke foam, an increase in the heat capacity of intumescent coatings.
