This report evaluates the flammability and melt dripping behaviour of different melt flow index (MFI) of polypropylene (PP) containing nitrogen-based intumescent flame-retardant (IFR) additives. Fire retardant (FR) additive loading was set at 20.5% to determine the possibility of a low loaded PP pol...
