Résumé : Flame retardancy of EVA copolymers using three new synthesized and two commercial hydrated mineral aluminum-based fillers having different aspect ratio was studied. It was shown that the peak of heat release rate (pHRR) in cone calorimeter test significantly decreased in presence of lamellar-shaped pseudoboehmites compared to that observed in presence of aluminum trihydroxyde and boehmite. On the opposite, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Pyrolysis Combustion Flow Calorimeter analysis (PCFC) did not show any significant modification between the five formulations indicating that the pHRR decrease is related to barrier effect and not to endothermic effect or to improvement of thermal stability. No relationship was found between the pHRR decrease and the melt viscosity. ESEM and EDX analyses have confirmed that the efficiency of the barrier effect in presence of the two lamellar pseudoboehmites is assigned to migration phenomena of particles which led to the quick formation of a homogeneous and cohesive insulating layer.
