One of the most serious drawbacks polymeric materials is their flammability. This poses problems for use as building materials. The production elastomeric composites capable ceramization one way making such flame-retardant and thus improving fire safety. Here, we propose ceramizable, highly filled based on NBR rubber containing talc fluxing agent in composition. research showed low flammability (88 % reduction FIGRA), good rheological properties, high mechanical strength vulcanizates (tensile at break exceeding 7 MPa) ability to produce a strong ceramic phase (up 77 increase required destructive force ceramizable samples). confirmed flame resistance tested. In future, similar could be considered design cables that supply protection systems, escape route lighting or elevators.
