Abstract
The effect of using flame retardant (FR) additives in polyurethane (PU) foam has been investigated using a cone
calorimeter at 30 kW/m2. Peak heat release rate was found to increase for normal foam as compared to FR foam.
Carbon dioxide was found lower for FR PU foam, whereas carbon monoxide yield was found to be very high as
compared to PU foam. Smoke toxicity, as indicated by the index of combustion completeness, was found to be
higher for PU FR as compared to PU foam.
