Abstract
Abstract A fire-resistant thermoplastic composition comprising polyvinyl butyral resin and a compatible mixture in an amount sufficient to provide fire-resistant properties to such composition which includes (a) a plasticizer blend of a char-forming component, such as an organic phosphate, and an oxygen sequestering agent, such as an organic phosphite, wherein the char-forming component is the major constituent; (b) a nucleating agent such as fumed silica for dispersing the fire decomposition products of the composition; and (c) a heat reactive bonding resin.
