Flammability Assessment Tests for Organic Materials - The Oxygen Index/Temperature Index Concept.

Abstract

A series of organic polymers, composites, and polymeric foams have been investigated in terms of the Oxygen Index Method (ASTM-2863-74). The change in oxygen index as a function of temperature was determined for each material between ambient and 300 C and data plotted to prepare a temperature index profile. (Author)
