Abstract Wastes from polypropylene (PP) packages are accumulating every year because it is one of the most widely consumed and short lifecycle products. This paper aims to develop low thermal conductive and fire-retardant materials from post-consumer PP (pPP) packages. Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and hollow glass microsphere
(HGM) were further added to improve the fire retardancy and thermal conductivity of pPP. The influence of
APP and HGM on the mechanical and thermal properties, fire retardancy and thermal conductivity of pPP were
investigated and compared with that of virgin PP (vPP). HGM was constantly added at 5 wt% while the content of
APP… More >
