The use of Milligram Flame Calorimetry for screening flame retardants was also reported by Montoya et al. . MFC method was reported to be very cost effective compared to the CC method because it could be performed by dry blending of relatively small amounts per composition and used very small amounts of materials for testing. This method was reported to be most effective when multiple compositions were needed to be tested. It was also shown that MFC could detect gas-phase activity of flame retardants. Micro Scale Combustion Calorimetry (MCC) was also reported to be an effective method for the screening of multiple flame-retardant compositions. This is performed according to ASTM-D7309-13 standard. Lyon et al. reported the use of MCC in such screening . The use of thermo-gravimetric analysis to investigate thermal degradation behaviour of polymers was also reported earlier . The use of TGA combined with FTIR was also reported to determine the composition of volatiles, where FTIR spectra were simulated by Gram Schmidt simulations to identify the chemical compositions of volatiles. Unfortunately, this method could only be used to identify C02, NH3 and hydrocarbons. The total amount of volatiles formed or the chemical composition of the volatiles that are formed during burning could not be determined using this method.
