Abstract

Bicyclic compounds containing phosphorus on their skeleton such as 2,4,6-trioxa-1-phosphabicyclo[2,2,2]octane-4-methanol phosphate (PEPA) having three active ingredients required for intumescence have been synthesized. The structural characterization of PEPA was carried out by FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR. The thermal behaviour of the material was studied using TGA, TGA–MS and pyrolysis GC–MS. Thermogravimetric analysis reveals that PEPA undergoes several stages of degradation with a char of about 12% at 800 °C. The TGA–MS studies indicate that the material degrades with the liberation of water, formaldehyde, alkene and alcohols as the major degradation products. Pyrolysis GC–MS results reveal that PEPA isomerizes in the acidic medium. PEPA and/or isomers of PEPA react with formaldehyde, one of the degradation products, to form cross-linked structure and cyclic products with the elimination of water molecule. The thermal degradation mechanisms for PEPA are presented and discussed.
