The flame resistance properties of oyster shells powder extracted from the

Caspian sea in Iran composites were studied. (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%

and 20%) (Wt. /wt) of added oyster shells powder with the particular size

(≤ 250 μm) where composite with low density polyethylene and several

factor were studied like average of average time of burning(ATB), rate of

burning(RB), average extent of burning(AEB) and percentage of the time

of burning(PTB). The obtained results showed that the average time of

burning initiates strongly impacts with (5%), increasing weight preparation

to(147Sec). And then begins to decline their behavior when increasing

proportions weighted. While, the composite shows exception behavior at

(20 %).
