A study on the flame‐retardance of poly(vinyl chloride) incorporated with metal hydroxystannates

Abstract

Abstract In this article some metal hydroxystannates were synthesized. It shows that the ZHS with Fe 2 SnO 3 .3H 2 O imparts fairly good flame retardance to the plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC). The thermal stability and flammability on heating and burning were explored by TG/DTA. Study on mechanical properties of PVC had also been performed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
