MCA contains triazine benzenoid structure, which is absolutely stable. Besides, the conjugative effect of Л electron cloud of benzenoid structure makes it an even more stable product. With high nitrogen content, low toxicity of the decompounded product, MCA is a new type of efficient polyamide appended flame-resistant product which caters to current trend. MCA can reduce the surface temperature of the polymer material and isolate the air to block the combustion by “sublimation decalescence”. The fire retardant mechanism of MCA lies in transferring the course of degradation of the polyamide and hot ammonia, interacting to form the surface expansive layer of the carbon. The mechanism can be summarized as catalyzed carbonized expansion in cooperated phase and dilution in gas phase.
