โœฆ Synopsis

A large number of different kinds (chlorides, oxides, nitrates, acetylacetonates) of metallic compounds have been tested as smoke suppressor in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) combustion at different temperatures (400 ยฐC smouldering or 600 and 700 ยฐC flaming). The most efficient suppressors are those which show catalytic activity in oxidation reactions (copper, iron or vanadium compounds). Their efficiency is not very dependent on the anion bound to the metal, but may depend on temperature. These suppressors cause incandescence phenomenon and rather complete and exothermic combustion of the solid residue without excessive smoke production.

Experiments were carried out in which poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) wire coating was decomposed electrically. Efforts were made to minimise the amount of decay of the hydrogen chloride generated, so that the decay rate remained much smaller than the generation rate. These experiments were used to creat
