Effect of iron(III) acetylacetonate additive on selected properties of composites of low density polyethylene with magnesium hydroxide

摘要

The preliminary investigation of the effects of using iron(III) acetylacetonate (acacFe) in low density polyethylene (PE-LD) composites with magnesium hydroxide (MH) after different modifications on flammability was conducted. The results showed that employment of a small amount of acacFe in composites with MH, modified with a silane compound (Magnifin H10A) may reduce the total burning times for a whole series of samples in the vertical position and it may increase tensile strain at break (ε_B) of samples.
