Measured Data

Mass Loss Rate (MLR)

Initial-mass-normalized mass loss rate [1/s] was measured in the simultaneous thermal analyzer experiments at three heating rates: 3 K/min, 10 K/min, and 30 K/min.

Cone calorimeter tests were conducted at a heat flux of 35 kW/m2 on samples conditioned at 20°C and 50% relative humidity.
