Notes:
The flammability and smoke generated from burning blends of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and polyvinylchloride (PVC) are discussed. Flammability was measured using standard oxygen index techniques and smoke production determined by the NBS method. The incorporation of some specific iron containing inorganic compounds into a range of blends of ABS and PVC considerably changes the burning characteristics of the polymer blend. Thermal stability at elevated temperatures and carbonaceous char formation are also discussed. The chemical role of iron compounds in reducing both the flammability and smoke production in ABS/PVC is considered.
