Flame retardant fillers are of growing importance as they do not give the high smoke and corrosive gas emissions associated with some other flame retardants The basic characteristics of a flame retardant filler are described, together with the manufacture of the principal commercial types. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate that their flame retardant effect is more complex than predicted by a simple endothermic decomposition model.
