Abstract
This work reports research carried out to develop an intumescent blend for transport applications, which would provide good fire and mechanical performance, and which would comply with recent European directives on the recycling of end-of-life cars. The study shows that PP/APP/PA6 based intumescent blends in which EVA copolymers were used as compatibilisers, with the addition of talc, are able to provide acceptable mechanical properties without decreasing flame retardancy. 42 refs.
