From the author: Fire-retardant (FR) properties, including limiting oxygen index, peak rate of heat release, and smoke parameter have been measured and compared for unfilled and filled polyvinyl-chloride (PVC)-based cable formulations, containing 15 wt% amounts of uncoated and zinc-hydroxystannate (ZHS)-coated magnesium hydroxide (MH) and calcium carbonate (CaC[O.sub.3]) fillers at the same addition level. Of the uncoated fillers, MH was more effective at lowering flammability than CaC[O.sub.3]. When the ZHS coating was applied to MH and CaC[O.sub.3], CaC[O.sub.3] became the most effective additive at lowering PVC flammability and smoke output. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 47:1163-1169, 2007.
