Abstract
Flame retardance of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) can be achi eved using magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)(2)) incorporated in the polymer ic matrix. The adduct of small amount of zinc berate as synergistic ag ent in the formulation increases the fire-proofing properties. Multinu clei solid-state NMR appears as a powerful means to characterise mater ials before and after combustion. We show that endothermic dehydration , water vapour evolved and formation of a glassy coating provide the f lame retardancy of interest to the polymeric matrix.
