AB - Effect of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) as a flame retardant agent (FR) and recycled polyvinylchloride (r-PVC) as a self-extinguishing component on the thermal, mechanical, and flammability properties of recycled acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene copolymer/polycarbonate (r-ABS/r-PC) blends has been investigated. r-PVC was used as a poorly recyclable polymer, and TBBPA consumption was reduced due to its toxic properties. The FR had a compatibility effect with the matrix. Simultaneous use of r-PVC and FR showed a synergistic effect so that at a lower percentage of FR, a high level of flame resistance and LOI value was achieved. The addition of FR and r-PVC individually and cumulatively reduced the decomposition temperature of the blend, although the residual percentage of these materials increased at 800 °C. The tensile and Izod strength of the blends increased and decreased with the addition of FR, respectively. However, the effect of r-PVC on the mechanical properties was the opposite of the TBBPA problem.
