In this paper, flame retardancy of Biopolymer Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) was studied. ASTM E162 standard test method for surface flammability was used to assess the functioning of the aluminum hydroxide nanoparticles efficiency as a surface layer with (4mm) to impede flame by using oxy- acetylene torch with exposed intervals equal to (20mm,30mm). The results obtained from surface flammability test were evidenced that the aluminum hydroxide was effective as a flame retardant to impede the flame.
