Poly(Phosphazene) Wire and Cable Insulation.

Abstract

The objective of the program under Contract No. N00024-78-C-4644 is to prepare a fire resistant cable utilizing a single poly(aryloxyphosphazene) (firestone APN(trademark)) base material for both the wire insulation and the cable jacket. Formulations will be developed which offer maximum fire retardancy and low smoke generation while achieving optimum electrical properties for the wire insulation and optimum physical properties for the jacketing. Four APN(trademark) polymers will be prepared to evaluate molecular weight and compositional effects on properties and processing. The single best candidate will be pilot plant produced by The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company (Akron, Ohio) and cabled product will be prepared by Boston Insulated Wire and Cable Company (Boston, Massachusetts). One very low molecular weight APN(trademark) polymer will be prepared and be evaluated as a flame-retardant plasticizer. (Author)
