Abstract:

To study the effect of thermal-oxidative on the degradation of ammonium polyphosphate(APP),an artificial accel-erated thermal aging treatment was performed on the APP of the two brands.The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance were used to characterize the structural changes of APP after thermal oxygen aging.Differential scanning calorimetry predicted heat aging life.The results showed that after thermo-oxidative aging,APP gradually transformed into ammonium dihydrogen phosphate.During the aging process,the P—O—P bond was broken,the P=O bond was increa-sed,and the average degree of polymerization decreased.APP had a long life at room temperature and could reach about 100 years,furthermore,with the higher the average degree of polymerization,the longer the life.With the increase of the ambient temperature,the life is shortened,and the life at 50 ℃ was less than 10 years.The results of the study provided reference for the study of the aging mechanism and durability of the fire-resistant coating for intumescent steel structures.

Key words: ammonium polyphosphate, aging mechanism, life prediction, degree of polymerization
