Abstract

The study of the thermal degradation of the fireproof polystyrene—butadiene copolymer by an intumescent system: ammonium polyphosphate (APP)—pentaerythritol (PER)—talc (TAL), was done through an experimental process. Thermogravimetry under air sweeping was used. We observed for the degradation rate of the mixture with fireproofing agents, in the field of 20 to 50% mass loss, a better linear increasing when this mixture contains more TAL and the ratio APP/PER is smaller.
