Abstract: The effect of expandable graphite (EG), polyphosphate polyol oligomer (OP550), and diethylN,Nbis(2hydroxyethyl) aminomethylphosphonate WSFR6 on the flame retardancy of rigid polyurethane foam(RPUF) was investigated by means of limited oxygen index and cone calorimeter tests. RPUF exhibited a better charring ability and gave compact residual char layer after ignition in the presence of both OP550 and WSFR6. When the loading of EG in RPUF was 14 %, the limited oxygen index of RPUF system increased to 33.6 %, and the peak value of heat release rate decreased to 106.93 kW/m2.
