A simultaneous TG‐DSC system (STA‐625) has been used to investigate the suitability of using magnesium hydroxide (MH) as a flame retardant and smoke suppressant in polypropylene (PP) formulations. Several MH/PP formulations were examined at differing concentrations. The presence of MH in the system greatly alters the thermal degradation character of PP. This work forms the first in a series of application notes using various Theometric Scientific Thermal Analysis instruments.
