Abstract
Blends of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are widely used in products such as hoses and seals. As part of a project that uses NBR/PVC blends for manufacturing forest fire hoses, blends of NBR/PVC with various inorganic fillers, such as Mg(OH)2, china clay (organic modified kaolin) and nano clay (organic modified bentonite) were studied by TG–MS. No significant changes were observed to the type of the polymers’ decomposition products, compared to that of NBR/PVC blend without additives. The most remarkable change was the absence of HCl from decomposition products in the presence of the Mg(OH)2 additive.
