The Effect of Compounding Variables on the Rate of Heat and Smoke Release from Polychloroprene Foam

Charles William Stewart, Robert L.T. Dawson, Paul Johnson

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Abstract The addition of certain hydrated fillers or char promoters to a neoprene latex foam recipe can result in significantly lower rates of heat and smoke release. The degree of improvement depends to some extent on the severity of the test conditions, with the greatest improvement being obtained for conditions which are encountered during the early stages of a fire.
