N2  - A large number of different kinds (chlorides, oxides, nitrates, acetylacetonates) of metallic compounds have been tested as smoke suppressor in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) combustion at different temperatures (400 [deg]C smouldering or 600 and 700 [deg]C flaming). The most efficient suppressors are those which show catalytic activity in oxidation reactions (copper, iron or vanadium compounds). Their efficiency is not very dependent on the anion bound to the metal, but may depend on temperature. These suppressors cause incandescence phenomenon and rather complete and exothermic combustion of the solid residue without excessive smoke production.<p />
