This research aims to study the effect of adding Zinc Borate and
Aluminum Hydroxide as flame retardants to Low Density
polyethylene.
Specimens have been prepared through pouring them in a mold.
Results have revealed that replacement of certain am
ount of
Aluminum Hydroxide with Zinc Borate could lead to improving the
resistance of flame spread in Low Density polyethylene.
these improvements were basically due to further contribution of
Zinc Borate to the physical barrier mechanism of Aluminum
Hydroxide in both gas and solid phases.
