| Endothermic reactions (requiring heat) are accompanied by an increase in enthalpy H. Flame retardancy is also aided by the endothermic reaction of nitrogenous gas sublimation, resulting in lower combustion temperatures, Akzo says. Figure 1 shows the exothermic combustion enthalpies of proven cable jacket materials and, additionally, the endothermic reaction enthalpy of the decomposition reaction of aluminium hydroxide. |
