The relative thermal protection offered by a series of halogenated vinyl polymers is discussed in terms of the usual modes of energy attenuation and dissipation, such as reflection, endothermic decomposition, etc. It is shown that none of these modes is so overwhelming that it alone can account for the relative thermal protection offered by these polymers.
