Abstract Fire properties of modified and unmodified epoxy materials have been studied. The following types of additives were used: MoO3, Sb2O3, melamine. Heat and smoke release rates in different external fluxes (30, 50 kW/m) were studied by the Cone calorimeter. The results of investigation have shown that molibdenum oxide (VI) is more smoke supres‐sant than antimony oxide (III) and melamine in the range of heat exposure under consideration.
