1. Introduction
The Kings Cross St Pancras fire of 1987 killed 31 people and injured another 60. Many of the deaths and injuries were caused by thick acrid smoke from halogen containing polymers. This tragedy led to London Underground introducing Fire Precautions Regulations (Section 12 Regulations) in 1989. This aimed to minimize the risks associated with the generation of noxious, corrosive fumes, and dense smoke from halogen containing products, including PVC cable insulation, and led to a general trend towards the use of “Zero Halogen Products” in enclosed public places.
This move towards non-halogen containing polymers created an opportunity for EPDM
However:
EPDM Burns!

1.1 Introduction – The move towards metal hydrates
For applications requiring flame resistance it is therefore necessary to develop compounds containing ingredients that;
�Give non-burning properties and/or
�Raise the temperature of ignition and/or
�Give self extinguishing properties
�Give fumes of low toxicity
�Reduce the spread of flames
�Have a low smoke density

1.1 Introduction – The move towards metal hydrates
Many traditional flame retardants are therefore excluded, e.g.
Material Objection
Brominated diphenyl esters/ethers Release of toxic and corrosive gas
Antimony oxide Contains heavy metal – toxic
Halogenated phosphorous products Release of toxic and corrosive gas
Halogenated paraffins Release of toxic and corrosive gas
Red phosphor Phosphine formation in contact with water
Therefore the use of metal hydrates becomes a logic al option

1.2 Metal Hydrate – Mechanism of Flame Retardation
� Endothermic reaction from water emission
� Dilution of flammable gases due to formation of water vapour
� Moisture shroud reduces oxygen availability
� Formation of protective char leading to;
�Thermal insulation
�Adsorption of smoke particles
� Reduced % of polymer in compound

Relative Effect of Filler and Plasticizer on Limiti ng Oxygen Index (LOI) Value of an EPDM Compound
� Zinc Borate also considered to give a synergistic improvement in combination with ATH and Mg(OH)2
� Calcium carbonate, silica, silicates and sulphates also give some flame retardant benefit, probably due to dilution of combustible material, i.e. the polymer

1.3 Compounding of EPDM with Metal Hydrates
General Rules
To achieve a reasonable level of flame resistance (LOI > 30) AT LEAST50 wt% of the compound should be metal hydrate
Zinc borate has been found to give synergistic improvements when used in combination with hydrated fillers
Paraffinic processing oil reduces LOI, and should only be used <15phr
Phosphate and ester plasticizers have less effect on LOI, but have limited compatibility with EPDM; use at levels of < 15phr

1.3 Compounding of EPDM with Metal Hydrates
Disadvantages of using metal hydrates for flame res istant EPDM
Metal hydrates act as diluent fillers, having no reinforcing properties. High loadings cause a reduction of physical properties
High filling levels coupled with low oil addition result in high viscosity compounds that are difficult to process

3. Conclusions
A general trend towards the use of zero halogen products in enclosed public places has necessitated the use of non-halogen containing polymers in combination with metal hydrate fillers.
To be effective as flame retarders, metal hydrate fillers must be used at levels of at least 50 wt% in compounds containing low levels of processing oil. This adversely effects both the processing and cured physical properties of the compound.
Lanxess Keltan Elastomers offers innovative products that improve both processing and physical properties of high filled, low oil EP(D)M based compounds;
� Keltan 1519R gives coupling between metal hydrate f illers and EP(D)M polymer to improve physical properties
� Keltan 0500R reduces compound viscosity for improve d process flow, with a minimum effect on physical properties
