[0111]

[0112] The polypropylene composite materials prepared in the various embodiments of the present invention have good ablation resistance and falling ball impact resistance, good self-support (burn-through time and deformation degree), the burn-through time can reach 600s, the deformation degree does not exceed 2.5mm, the temperature on the back side of the combustion does not exceed 180℃, and the falling ball impact height is not less than 2m.

[0113] As can be seen from Comparative Examples 1 and 2, if the thickness of the glass fiber cloth in the halogen-free flame-retardant prepreg is too low, the polypropylene composite material produced will have poor performance and will be easily burned through.

[0114] As can be seen from Comparative Example 3, if the thickness of the halogen-free flame-retardant prepreg is too high, the ablation resistance of the resulting polypropylene composite material decreases, and it is easily burned through.

[0115] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
