Objectives

1) To recall earlier Company work on the prediction of flammability characteristics, illustrating in particular two features:

  • the dependence of the results on the physical as well as the chemical parameters of the burning situation;
  • flame speeds increase with the scale of the installation.

 
2) To suggest follow-up steps should it be decided to pursue the approach in the plastics field.
