A correlation has been found between limiting oxygen index and tendency towards decomposition into volatiles as determined from nonisothermal thermogravimetry for polyethylene charged with the mixtures of Al(OH) 3 and Mg(OH) 2 or MgCO 3 . An interpretation based on the model of ignition and burning of polymers has been put forward and a dependence of heat transfer coefficient on temperature of ignition and initial mass of sample was found.
