“…AlPi/PP composites acted as a fire resistor, decreasing the productive combustion heat of the volatiles, and increasing the amount of released carbon monoxide. Sharma and Saxena [ 105 ] studied the FR smoke suppressant protection provided by polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The metal-based organic (MBO) complexes were synthesized to be used as FR smoke suppressants in PVC formulations.…”

Polymer composites filled with metal derivatives have been widely used in recent years, particularly as flame retardants, due to their superior characteristics, including high thermal behavior, low environmental degradation, and good fire resistance. The hybridization of metal and polymer composites produces various favorable properties, making them ideal materials for various advanced applications. The fire resistance performance of polymer composites can be enhanced by increasing the combustion capability of composite materials through the inclusion of metallic fireproof materials to protect the composites. The final properties of the metal-filled thermoplastic composites depend on several factors, including pore shape and distribution and morphology of metal particles. For example, fire safety equipment uses polyester thermoplastic and antimony sources with halogenated additives. The use of metals as additives in composites has captured the attention of researchers worldwide due to safety concern in consideration of people’s life and public properties. This review establishes the state-of-art flame resistance properties of metals/polymer composites for numerous industrial applications.

“…Although it is intrinsically self-extinguishing, large amounts of smoke and other combustion products are evolved when PVC is forced to burn [1]. Rapid and unrestrained propagation of fire can be checked either by the addition of flame-retardant smoke-suppressant (FRSS) additives during the preparation of PVC sheets or by the application of an effective fire-retardant coating on the PVC-sheathed cables [2,3]. FRSS additives are mainly used during polymer processing, while coatings can be applied to the existing cable systems.…”

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely used polymers today. One of its major applications is in electrical and control cables. Although PVC is intrinsically self-extinguishing, it supports flame spread along its length because of the additives used during processing. The spread of fire along electrical cables may be alleviated either by using flame-retardant smoke-suppressant (FRSS) additives or by applying fire-retardant intumescent coatings to the surface of the cable sheath. The intumescent coating also acts as a fire-protective barrier for electrical cables. Plasticized PVC compositions incorporating a molybdenum-based organic (MBO) complex were prepared and evaluated for their fire performance. Excellent smoke suppression was observed in the specimens modified using the complex, which acts as an FRSS additive. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) was also found to be fairly high, particularly when the PVC samples were plasticized with a phosphate plasticizer. FRSS intumescent coatings were applied on PVC-sheathed electrical cables. Their fire performance was evaluated using national and international standard procedures. Significantly low levels of smoke generation was observed along with zero flame spread when the coated cables were exposed to standard test conditions. The formulations used in both the treatments — coating as well as additive — offer improved resistance to ignition, flame spread and smoke generation.
