Using an NBS smoke test chamber, smoke evolution of a variety of plasticized and filled PVC formulations is studied. The lowest smoke evolution was provided by the joint use of alkylaryl phosphates and magnesium carbonate. Partial replacement of triaryl phosphates by chlorinated paraffins reduces significantly smoke evolution in the flaming mode without effect from antimony oxide.
