Abstract
Thermoplastic elastomeric ablative insulation having low density are disclosed. The ablative insulation is based upon a thermoplastic elastomeric polymer resin containing a polyamide polymer and a maleic anhydride modified EPDM polymer. The ratio of polyamide polymer to maleic anhydride modified EPDM is in the range from about 20:80 to about 40:60. Carefully selected fillers provide suitable charring and ablative insulation performance without unduly increasing the insulation density. Typical fillers include an phosphorus containing compound, such as ammonium polyphosphate, a polyhydric alcohol present, such as pentaerythritol, silicone resin, chopped fibers, an antioxidant, a butadiene polymer, and a peroxide.
