Abstract
Fire retarded poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been obtained by the incorporation of octamethyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OMPOSS) and Exolit OP950, a phosphinate-based compound, in recycled PET. The presence of Exolit OP950 only leads to intumescence explaining the improvement of the flame retardancy. The addition of OMPOSS leads to a synergistic effect considerably increasing the fire retarding performances of the polymer in terms of cone calorimetry and limiting oxygen index even if a small thermal stabilisation as well as a very poor dispersion of OMPOSS and OP950 into the matrix has been observed.
