Abstract
Flame retardant ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) composites were prepared based on different contents of hollow glass beads (HGBs) and aluminium hydroxide (ATH) in this paper, and the flame retardant properties were studied using limiting oxygen index, UL-94 test and cone calorimeter test respectively. The results showed that EVA-4 with 1·0 wt-%HGBs has the lowest heat release rate, total heat release and smoke production rate among all samples, and HGBs could promote to form a compact char layer on the surface of the sample. It indicates that there is an obvious synergistic flame retardant effect between HGBs and ATH in this composite.
