  • Publication number: 20150274909
    Abstract: To produce an anti-flame film, nanoscale silicate platelets (NSP) are first diluted with water or an organic solvent; the dispersion is then dried on a surface to remove the water or organic solvent and finally an almost inorganic and flexible film with a thickness of 1 to 1,000 ?m is obtained. The film has a regularly layered alignment of primary platelet (1 nm thickness) structure. The NSP film has excellent anti-flame and heat insulation properties that can effectively shield a flame of more than 800° C. without apparent deformation in shape. The NSP can be blended with polymers with a composition over 30% or preferably 70% of NSP to make composite films with significant improvement in flame and heat shielding.
