The synergistic effects of silicotungstic acid (SiW 1 2 ) as a catalyst in the phosphorus-nitrogen compounds AM-based intumescent flame-retardant (IFR) polypropylene (PP) were studied using the limiting oxygen index (LOI),the UL-94 test, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), real time Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS). The LOI data show that SiW 1 2 added to PP/IFR systems has a synergistic FR effect with an IFR additive named AM. The TGA data show that SiW 1 2 apparently increases the thermal stability of the PP/IFR systems at high temperature (T > 500°C). The FTIR results provide the positive evidence that IFR can improve the thermal stability of PP and SiW 1 2 can induce a higher rate of formation of phosphoric acid and its derivatives. The LRS measurements provide useful information on the carbonaceous microstructures. In short, a suitable amount of SiW 1 2 (1.5 wt%) exerts synergistic effects with the IFR by increasing the LOI value and the thermal stability at high temperature and promoting the formation of charred structures on the burning PP surface.
