ADINS® additives, based on functionalized uncommon silicate with a needle-like structure, allow to improve the fire performance of polymeric formulations:
- Enhances char structure, improving gas barrier and mechanical properties
- Avoids flame propagation by burning polymer dripping
- Reduces the smoke production

25 2.5 0 ADINS Clay 80T 70.5 25 2.5 2 - Cone Calorimeter Test and Smoke Chamber Test
Test Conditions
- Size of the samples: 100x100 up to 4mm thick 3 measures per sample
- Multiple heat flux levels:
- 25 kW/m²
- 50 kW/m²
- 65 kW/m²
Important Parameters Measured And Calculated
- Heat Release Rate (HRR): Rate at which heat is generated by fire.
- Peak of Heat Release Rate (pHRR ): Maximum of HRR.
- Total Heat Release (THR): Sum of the heat released from the ignition.
- ARHE: Average Rate of Heat Emission.
- MARHE: Maximum of ARHE.
Some Results
Sample MARHE (kW/m²) THR 1200s (MJ/m²) pHRR (kW/m²) Reference 117.74 61.5 155.17 ADINS Clay 80T 123.67 56.7 152.85 
Test Conditions
- Radiation applied = 50 kW/m 2 .
- Distance between sample surface and radiation source = 25 mm.
- Size of the samples: 75x75mm, 2 3 mm thickness. 3 measures per sample
- Optional pilot flame
Important Parameters Measured And Calculated
- Specific Optical Density (Dₛ): Density of smoke measured by an opacimeter.
- Maximum Dₛ (Dₛ) max
- VOF4: Integral of the DS(t) curve calculated from t=0 to t=4min.
- Total Smoke Production (TSP): sum of the smoke released from the ignition.
Smoke Chamber Results
Sample TSP (1200s) Ds max (20') VOF4 Reference 1620.4 168.8 93.5 ADINS Clay 80T 1092.7 76.1 91.0 - Test Conclusions
- In the UL 94 test we can see how the samples not drip
- All samples showed similar behaviour in the cone calorimeter test
- When ADINS is added into the PP/ intumescent formulations the Total Smoke Production and the Smoke Density is reduced in all cases
