Notes:
Composites were made with jute, cordenka and jute+cordenka by extrusion and injectionmoulding. The matrix material was Polypropylene (PP) and PP maleic acid anhydride grafted copolymer(MAPP) was used as coupling agents. The mechanical tests were performed. The hybridcomposite of jute 25% and cordenka 75% showed the enhanced properties. Three types of fireretardants (15%) Mgnifine (Magnesium hydroxide), Exolite AP-750 (Poly-ammonium phosphate)and Expandable Graphite and their mixtures (1:1) were used in the composites and PP. All the fireretardants and their mixture reduced the mechanical properties. Among all fire retardants and theirmixtures used, mixture of expandable graphite and magnifine for jute based composite and mixtureof expandable graphite and exolite for cordenka based composite was found to be better
