Designing compositions of polymer composites with reduced flammability based on ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and mixtures of flame retardants fillers

The article presents data on the thermal decomposition of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) composites and halogen-free flame retardant fillers based on metal hydroxides (aluminum, magnesium, and calcium). For each temperature range of the thermal decomposition of EVA, the content of water vapour volume necessary and sufficient for diluting the gas phase and obtaining a polymer composite material with reduced combustion resistance PV-0 was determined using the TG curves of metal hydroxides.
