A study was made of the influence of aluminium and magnesium hydroxides on certain physicomechanical, processing, and service properties of plasticised polyvinyl chloride. It was shown that the use of a mixture of aluminium and magnesium hydroxides leads to a considerable increase in thermal stability and to an improvement in a number of fire safety properties.
