Fire-resist

4. Results and conclusions.

The main results and conclusions obtained are:

4.1.- Formulations developed

1. 
   Furan resins developed during the project can be used for the production of high performance composites, pre-pregs and for cork agglomeration.
   
2. 
   Furolite resins show good fire behavior themselves.
   
3. 
   P/N modified catalysts increase cross-linking times excessively (2-3 hours).
   
4. 
   APP and MPP powder additives improve char formation.
   
5. 
   APP and MPP powder additives improve fire behavior but they lead to processing problems due to their particle size (filter effect in vacuum infusion and RTM).
   
6. 
   DMPP increases cross-linking times excessively.
   
7. 
   Cork powder increases excessively the viscosity of the resinous system and does not improve fire behavior.
   
8. 
   Lignin liquid does not improve reaction to fire properties.
