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.
The results showed the possibility of getting at a wide rang of board with different properties, and all investigated percentage had special properties which to use in industrial application, also the result showed the possibility to produce these bo
ard without pretreatment of particles wood or without addition any virgin plastic to RLDPE
The results showed the possibility of getting of a wide spectrum of boards with different properties, and all studied percentages had special properties which allow them to use in industrial application, also the result showed the possibility to produce these boards without treatment of the wood particles or without addition any virgin plastic to RLDPE
