PMLR: peak of mass loss rate; SMLR: specific mass loss rate; tPMLR: time to peak mass loss rate; Char600 s: char residue at 600 s after cone calorimeter test; Tonset2: initial temperature; Tmax2: peak temperature; Tfinal2: stop temperature of second mass loss step; Char800 °C: char residue at 800 °C from TG analysis.
