Abstract
New types of ecologically friendly polymer flame-retardant systems wer e proposed for Nylon 6,6 and polypropylene [high temperature polymer-o rganic char former, poly(vinyl alcohol), and silicon-inorganic system] . These systems can act in condensed and gaseous phases. The cone calo rimeter and LOI tests indicated the improvement of fire-retardant prop erties for compositions of flame retardants with Nylon 6,6 and polypro pylene in comparison with pure polymers.
