  • Polyvinyl chloride is often employed to achieve a pass of high standardized levels of flammability and also to obtain improved light, oxidative stability as well as high resistance to abrasion all at low cost.
  • PVC has problems with process stability which can lead to discoloration, or in more severe cases, to the lost of physical properties.
  • Thermal decomposition of PVC has been well studied and is attributed to a mechanism known as "autocatalytic dehydrohalogenation" or an "unzipping" reaction; i.e., the PVC may degrade before melting or during compounding.
  • the oxygen index (01) of PVC is 45.0 to 49.0, but when PVC is forced to burn, it can generate high levels of black smoke.
  • the plasticizer(s) has flame resistance.
  • the oxygen indices of piasiicized PVC in general obey a simple two-parameter equation wherein the plasticizer is often more flammable than the PVC itself. In order to meet flammability specifications such as oxygen index, heat release, smoke evolution, or cable tests, fiame- retardants and smoke-suppressants are often incorporated into plasticized PVC.

  • Good dispersion has been shown to provide for a consistent improvement of the physical properties and resistance against fire. It is believed that the latter feature is due to the formation of a ceramic-carbonaceous protective layer (char) on the surface of the burning polymer, which impedes the evolution of combustible gases and therefore reduces the speed of fire propagation.
