Mechanical properties of advanced composites are often impaired by flame retardants. The least adverse effect is found with synergistic combination of antimony oxides and brominated epoxies. Where low smoke generation is absolutely necessary phenolic resins are used. The new development of combining epoxy and phenolic resin layers in structural applications with high flame retardancy is introduced.
