The Loss of Weight and Release of Formaldehyde in Acid Treatment of Basofil Fiber

The Basofil fiber is a new type of hightemperature fiber. Its Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) value reaches 32. It does not melt, drop down or smolder when it contacts fire. The fiber is condensed from melamine and formaldehyde into a cross-linked with methylene-ether and methylene bridge bond. This thesis discusses the change of fiber structure and performance after the acid treatment.
