Show more >This article presents the different flame retardant (FR) additives adapted to polypropylene (PP) and their mode of actions when incorporated into the bulk. PP is naturally highly flammable; this review highlights the challenges to improve its flame retardant properties. It first reports the thermal degradation of PP and then focuses on FR PP systems and shows the high flame retardancy effectiveness of intumescent flame retardant (IFR) systems providing an efficient protective layer. It also highlights the need to improve the IFR systems to reduce the amount of FRs, using synergists, bio-based compounds or modified additives, but also using other effective systems such as free radical generators systems in combination with phosphorous flame retardant agent. Therefore, this article explores the effectiveness of several FR systems and highlight their mechanism of action in PP.Show less >
