This is a post-print version. The definitive version of the work is published in the Journal of Fire Sciences, vol. 33(6), pp 493-510Emulsion grade PVC was plasticised with 100 phr diisononyl phthalate and filled with 30 phr of different hydrated filler-type flame retardant additives. Static heat stabilities were determined at 200 oC by following the time dependance of hydrogen chloride evolution. Fire retardant performance was studied with cone calorimeter at a radiant heat flux of 35 KW/m2. The double layered hydroxide outperformed the other fillers with regards to improving static heat stability and also with respect to most fire retardant performance indices.enLayered double hydroxidePoly(vinyl chloride)Heat stabiliserThermal analysisArticleMolefe, D., Labuschagne, F., Focke, W., Van der Westhuizen, I., & Ofosu, O.
