1 Ceramizable silicone rubber based composites

2 Ceramizable silicone composites
Novel materials for fire protecting system destined for wire covers Ceramizable silicone composites are materials able to form protecting ceramic shell in presence of fire and elevated temperature. Ceramic shell protect copper wire against flames, heat and mechanical stress

3 Ceramizable composites can sustain the oparation of electrical systems in case of fire up to 2 hours.

4 Mechanisms of ceramization
Physical Physicochemical

5 Physical mechanism of ceramization

6 Physicochemical mechanism of ceramization
Destruction of polymer matrix Decomposition of some mineral fillers Reaction between inorganic substrates

7 Study Kinetics of vulcanization Mechanical properties

8 Study Microcalorymetry TG – DTA – MS FTIR - TG

9 Study Microcalorymetry

10 Force required to destroy ceramic phase
Study Porosimetry Force required to destroy ceramic phase SEM analysis

11 Study Porosimetry

12 European Norms developed especially for fire resistant cables tests
Test of cables according to EN

13 Conclusions Silicone rubber based composites have still high development potential: increase mechnical and insulation properties of ceramic phase, improve procesability, etc. It is possible to use different kinds of polymer as a matrix in ceramizable composites to obtain large spectrum of properties (plastomers, foams, resins, adhesives, etc.)
