Abstract
In the present study , the preparation method of antimony trioxide were expressed ,as well as
described the manufacturing method to form insulation layer from this oxide as a thickness of coating
layer (2mm) , paste on the composite material consist from unsaturated polyester resin and glass fibers
which acts as a paste and hold material to the insulation and flame retardant oxide. thermal erosion test
at (2000C) was done to evaluate the performance of the antimony trioxide efficiency to flame
retardancy The result obtained from thermal erosion test show that the antimony trioxide efficiency as a
flame retardant material at this temperature. This study also indicated the possibility of improving
thermal properties of antimony trioxide by addition zinc borate which able to prevent flame spread and
increasing efficient of antimony trioxide to flame retardancy .
