Özet:

Polymer-based (plastic) materials have been increasingly used in every field of life since the 1950s. Polypropylene (PP) is one of the thermoplastic polymers that belongs to the polyolefin group and is widely used. Products obtained from PP have a wide range of application in the packaging and packaging sector, in automotive applications, in the electric and electronic sector and in the construction sector. PP’s use in the textile industry is also of great importance. PP is a continuously growing material due to its significant advantages such as low cost, lightness, high mechanical resilience, high chemical resistance and desired heat stability. The burning resistance is important in many areas where PP is used. Since PP has high burning capacity, it is used in these fields by making it power burning with a variety of fire delaying additives. In this study, the additives used in order to give the power holding feature to the PP (weight delay) were studied, referring to the current developments in this field and future expectations. Materials that give the power attachment properties are grouped into halogens, swelling systems, phosphorus-based, metal hydroxides, nanomaterials and silicone-based. In this study, the terms "power retention" and "power delay" were used as equivalent to the English term "flame retardancy".
