Abstract:
The present invention provides reactive multi-functional dialkyl phosphinate compound(s), serving as highly efficient reactive flame retardants in flexible polyurethane foams. The invention further provides fire-retarded polyurethane compositions comprising said multi-functional dialkyl phosphinate compound and applications containing the same.
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 a composition comprising: (a) a flexible polyurethane foam-forming mixture and; an effective flame retarding amount of at least one nan halogen-containing cyclic phosphate ester of the general formula (I) wherein R 1 and R 2 , are the same or different, linear or branched alkyl group containing from up to about 10 carbon atoms, optionally containing heteroatom substituents, provided that R 1 and R 2 are not both methyl; and R 3 -R 7 are each independently hydrogen or the same or different linear or branched alkyl group containing up to about 4 carbon atoms, optionally containing heteroatom substituents; provided that the cyclic phosphate ester is a liquid or is substantially soluble in at least one different liquid flame retardant and/or the hydroxyl-containing component of the flexible polyurethane foam-forming mixture; the cyclic phosphate ester of formula (I) contains at least 8.5 weight percent phosphorous based on the total weight of any phosphorous containing component(s); and, provided that the composition is in the absence of melamine compound. There is also provided a flame retardant additive composition comprising the cyclic phosphate ester of formula (I) and at least one different liquid flame retardant, Further, there is provided a process of making a flame retarded polyurethane foam mixture.
Abstract:
The present invention provides dialkyl phosphorus-containing compounds, namely reactive mono-hydroxyl-functional dialkyl phosphinates, serving as highly efficient reactive flame retardants in flexible polyurethane foams. The invention further provides fire-retarded polyurethane compositions comprising said the reaction product of the mono-hydroxyl-functional dialkyl phosphinates with polyol and isocyanate foam forming components.
