Nanosized Zinc Oxide Particles and Binary Layered Metal Hydroxides as Effective Components of Flame-retarding Systems for Plasticised Polyvinyl Chloride
In the present work, investigations were made of the efficiency of the heat-stabilising effect of new flame-retardant systems using nanosized metal-containing components with the aim of producing materials of reduced flammability, smoking capacity, and breakdown-product toxicity. As a result of the conducted investigations it was established that the best fireproofing characteristics are possessed by a PVC composite containing ammonium salt of amino-tris-methylene phosphonic acid and zinc oxide with 50 nm particles. The oxygen index of the indicated composite was 27.5%.
