Recent developments in the fire retardancy of polymeric materials (2013, background): “[139] have also concluded that even though AlOOH has a positive effect on char enhancing capabilities, it is not an effective FR as Al(OH)3 in EVA.”
Flame-Retardancy Properties of Intumescent Ammonium Poly(Phosphate) and Mineral Filler Magnesium Hydroxide in Combination with Graphene (2014, background): “Especially the very high amounts of metal hydroxides Al(OH)3 and Mg(OH)2 (40 wt% to 60 wt%) often alter the mechanical properties of the composites, rendering them brittle by deteriorating the elongation at break, accompanied by impairing both impact strength and tensile strength [6–9].”
Thermal stability and flammability characteristics of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) composites blended with a phenyl phosphonate-intercalated layered double hydroxide (LDH), melamine polyphosphate and/or boric acid (2009, background): “However, more recently synthetic clays, known as layered double hydroxides (LDH), have been used with EVA and do show flame retardancy potential [9], [10], [11], [12].”
