DESCRIPTION:
CHARMOR PM40 micronized polyols are a rich carbon source for production of superior intumescent systems.
CHARMOR PM40 is a micronized Pentaerythritol derivative.
CHARMOR PM40 micronized polyols are a critical component in the formation of a thick fire resistant char barrier when intumescent coatings are exposed to high temperatures.
In intumescent systems for plastics, CHARMOR PM40 is used as carbon source for halogen free systems demanding lower smoke release and non-toxic fumes.
CHARMOR PM40 is a micronized polyol based on pentaerythritol.
Charmor PM40 is used in conjunction with an acid donor and blowing agent to produce high performance intumescent coating.
Charmor PM40 is also suitable for use in formulating intumescent sealants, thermoset unsaturated polyesters, thermoplastic engineering resin parts, and standard thermoplastic resin parts. Intumescent coatings work as follows:
The thermoplastic binder melts upon exposure to the heat of the fire to allow further chemical reactions to take place in the softened matrix
The acid donor (often a salt of polyphosphate) decomposes to form polyphosphoric acid
The Polyphosphoric acid reacts with Charmor PM40 to form polyphosphoric acid esters
The esters decompose to form a foamable carbon matrix
The blowing agent (often melamine) releases gases that cause the carbon matrix to create a foam that hardens to form a tough insulating char barrier that adheres to the substrate
Charmor PM40 is particularly suitable for waterborne and solvent-borne intumescent coatings.
The particle size of the Charmor product used has an impact on the nature of the foam.
Smaller particle sizes yield thicker char foam.
CHARMOR PM40 is a polyhydric alcohol containing four primary hydroxyl groups.
CHARMOR PM40 Acts as a flame retardant.
