Improving mechanical properties of huntite hydromagnesite reinforced flame retardant polymer composites with calcite and zeolite minerals

In this study, calcite and zeolite minerals, with well-known incombustibility properties, were used together with huntite hydromagnesite as auxiliary minerals to obtain better mechanical properties. In this context, a synergistic effect was created by adding zeolite and calcite to polymer composite systems containing huntite hydromagnesite, and flame retardant polypropylene matrix composites were produced using a twin screw extruder.
