The Flameretardant Study of PVA Using for Corrugated Cardboard

Corrugated cardboards have truss structure, so these have advantageous in terms of specific strength, workability, price and recycling efficiency. For these properties, corrugated cardboards are used as packing materials. In this research We tried to study about the flameretardancy (FR) of a corrugated cardboards using for Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The coating PVA on the cardboard is possible to be recyclable, because PVA has water solubility. Also the reason using PVA is to protect from the toxicity of flameretardant, which is used to the cardboards. We studied the FR-PVA for different with decomposition point of FR agent. We measured TGA and combustion test of the PVA. In the result, we could get the flameretardancy of PVA.
