These coatings have already been developed for various application fields but have never been considered for fire retardant purposes, whatever the substrate involved. In this work, the self-layering concept has been used to make polycarbonate fire retardant, using a mixture of epoxy and fluoropolymer resins, and iron oxide as flame retardant additive (10 wt%). Self-stratification was evidenced by microscopic analyses. The flame retardant properties were evaluated according to Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI), UL-94 and Mass Loss Calorimetry (MLC). Weathering resistance by accelerated UV, thermal and humidity exposure was also considered. In the first part, the effect of solvent on the self-layering process was investigated. It was shown that the system diluted in a blend of butylacetate : xylene (1 : 1 ratio) exhibits a perfect stratification and excellent adhesion onto polycarbonate. In such a system, an outstanding improvement of the fire retardant properties (V0 rating at UL-94 and 32 vol% at LOI), unaffected by weathering (both UV and temperature/humidity exposure), was observed when a 200 μm wet thick coating was applied. The coating allows the formation of a protective barrier and the presence of metal particles avoids dripping and promotes a charring effect.Show less >
