Abstract:
There is provided herein a flame retardant composition comprising: a compound having the general formula (I): which has a weight average molecular weight of from about 1,000 to about 700,000, and (b) a polyphenylene ether and/or an oligomer thereof. There is also provided an article comprising the flame retardant composition, and a method of making the article.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a curing agent compound for curing thermosetting resins, e.g., epoxy resins, a composition comprising a thermoplastic and/or thermosetting resin, e.g., an epoxy resin and the curing agent, an article comprising the curing agent, and a method of making the curing agent.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a flame retarded thermoplastic elastomer composition containing at least one thermoplastic elastomer and at least one metal phosphonate. There is also provided finished parts and articles e.g., such as wire and cable insulations, electrical and electronic equipment, car interior materials, and the like containing the flame retarded thermoplastic elastomer composition described herein.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a stable suspension of at least one of an inorganic oxide, an inorganic hydroxide, an inorganic carbonate and mixed salts thereof of the metals of groups II and III of the Periodic Table of Elements in a liquid phosphate ester. There is also provided a flame retarded thermoplastic resin composition containing a hydrolysis- susceptible thermoplastic resin and the stable suspension. There is also provided an electronic component comprising the flame retarded thermoplastic resin composition.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a low antimony trioxide 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 antimony trioxide synergist in an amount of less than 5 wt. %; and, (d) at least one calcium borate on an inorganic carrier. There is also provided a method of making said flame retarded styrenic thermoplastic polymer composition and article thereof.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a flame retarded thermoplastic composition comprising: (a) at least one thermoplastic polyester or polyamide; (b) at least one brominated flame retardant; (c) less than about 5 weight percent of at least one antimony synergist based on the total weight of the flame retarded thermoplastic composition; and, (d) at least one calcium borate on inorganic carrier, as well as a method of making a flame retarded article comprising blending components (a)-(d) of the flame retarded thermoplastic composition.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to solid phosphate ester, which can be used as a flame retardant in treatments for textile substrates. More specifically, the treatments for textiles substrates can be used as flame retardant formulations for application on textile fabrics while substantially maintaining the desired characteristics (aesthetic or textural properties) of the textile. The present invention thus further provides for articles having these phosphate ester formulations applied thereon, and of processes of applying them onto various textile substrates.
Abstract:
There is provided herein an aluminum methyl methylphosphonate in crystalline form wherein 90% of the aluminum methyl methylphoshponate has a particle size of less than 10 microns, and wherein the aluminum methyl methylphosphonate is obtained by the process of reacting aluminum hydroxide with dimethyl methylphosphonate in the presence of a catalyst.
