Abstract:
A flame retarded thermoplastic polymer composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer and a metal salt of phosphinic acid possessing a desired degree of volatility.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a polyolefin composition comprising a polyolefϊn and a flame retardant effective amount of a solid phosphate ester of the genera! formula ( 1 ): wherein n has an average value of from about 1.0 to about 2,0 and X is a divalent arylene moiety bonded to both of the oxygen atoms of any one of faydroqtiinnne, resoreinol. 4,4'-biρhenol, bisphenol S, or bisphenol F and wherein the phosphate ester is in the absence of halogen. There is also provided a method of waking the polyolefin composition. This fire relardam polyoleiln composition is ρarticulary useful in polypropylene fiber and films and foams.
