| dc.description.abstract | 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 dependence of hydrogen chloride evolution. Fire retardant performance was studied with a cone calorimeter at a radiant flux of 35 kW m2. The layered double hydroxide outperformed the other fillers with regard to improving static heat stability and also with respect to most fire retardant performance indices. | en_ZA |
