Abstract: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyester fibre (PET) were used as raw materials to form PVC/PET flexible composites by a hot press lamination process. By adding different flame retardants and anti-UV agents to the PVC coated film, it was found that the antimony oxide-zinc borate synergistic flame retardant system exhibited good flame retardant effect, which increased the ultimate oxygen index of the coated fabric to 28.7% when 5 phr was added. In addition, the flame retardant system also had the effect of inhibiting smoke generation, resulting in a 35.2% reduction in smoke density. In terms of UV resistance, UV-531 anti-UV agent is comparable to UV-234, but performs even better in terms of resistance to heat migration. Therefore, UV-531 was chosen as the anti-UV agent for PVC/PET flexible composites. The addition of 3.0 g/m2 of adhesive during the lamination of the coated film and the base fabric increases the peel strength of the material to 28.89 N/5 cm without affecting other properties, thus extending the service life of the PVC/PET flexible composite.
