Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the effectiveness of adding copper compounds, particularly cuprous oxide (Cu2O), to flexible polyurethane foam (FPU) to reduce the generation of toxic hydrogen cyanide (HCN) during thermal decomposition. The author presents a series of small-scale and full-scale experiments that examine the impact of Cu2O on HCN yields and the acute toxicity of the combustion products. The book's significance lies in its findings on the protective role of Cu2O. Small-scale tests revealed that Cu2O reduced HCN generation by 87% and decreased the toxicity of the decomposition products by 40-73%. The subsequent full-scale room burns corroborated these results, showing a 70% reduction in HCN when the FPU contained Cu2O. The author's research contributes to the understanding of fire safety and the development of safer materials. By demonstrating the efficacy of Cu2O in mitigating HCN emissions, this book offers valuable insights for manufacturers, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance fire safety in various applications where FPU is used, such as furniture and building insulation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
