Abstract
A correlation has been found between limiting oxygen index and tendenc y towards decomposition into volatiles as determined from nonisotherma l thermogravimetry for polyethylene charged with the mixtures of AI(OH )3 and Mg(OH)2 or MgCO3. An interpretation based on the model of ignit ion and burning of polymers has been put forward and a dependence or h eat transfer coefficient on temperature of ignition and initial mass o f sample was found.
