The effect of magnesium hydroxide, hydromagnesite and layered double hydroxide on the heat stability and fire performance of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride)
The effect of magnesium hydroxide, hydromagnesite and layered double hydroxide on the heat stability and fire performance of plasticized poly(vinyl chloride)
Emulsion grade PVC was plasticised with 100 phr diisononyl phthalate and filled with 30 phr of different hydrated filler-type flame retardant additives. Static heat stabilities were determined at 200 oC by following the time dependance of hydrogen chloride evolution. Fire retardant performance was studied with cone calorimeter at a radiant heat flux of 35 KW/m2. The double layered hydroxide outperformed the other fillers with regards to improving static heat stability and also with respect to most fire retardant performance indices.
