Abstract
Two blends of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene with unplasticised poly (vinyl chloride) and a tertiary blend of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styre ne, unplasticised poly (vinyl chloride) and poly (propylene) containin g a smoke suppressing iron compound gives good reductions in smoke and high yields of carbonaceous char when heated in air. Relationships be tween char formation and smoke production are discussed.
