Abstract:
There is provided herein a flame retarded polyamide composition comprising: (a) at least one polyamide; (b) a hydroquinone bisdiphenyl phosphate ester of the general formula (I): wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 each independently is aryl, or arylalkyl each independently containing up to about 30 carbon atoms, optionally interrupted with heteroatoms, X is a divalent hydroquinone group, containing up to about 20 carbon atoms, and n has an average value of from about 1.0 to about 2.0; and, (c) at least one brominated flame retardant and optionally, melamine polyphosphate.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a flame-retarded polyolefin polymer composition with reduced antimony trioxide content comprising: (a) at least one polyolefin polymer; (b) at least one brominated flame retardant (c) at least one antimony trioxide synergist and, (d) at least one calcium borate on an inorganic carrier. There is also provided a method of making said flame retarded polyolefin polymer composition and article thereof.
Abstract:
There is provided herein an antimony trioxide-free flame-retarded styrenic thermoplastic polymer composition comprising: (a) at least one styrenic thermoplastic polymer; (b) at least one brominated flame retardant, (c) at least one metal phosphonate; and, (d) at least one antidripping agent. There is also provided a method of making said flame retarded styrenic thermoplastic polymer composition; and, an article comprising the styrenic thermoplastic polymer composition.
