Abstract:
The present invention provides novel cyclic phosphorus-containing compounds, namely hydroxyl-functional phospholene-1-oxides, serving as highly efficient reactive flame retardants in urethane systems, particularly in flexible polyurethane foams, semi-rigid and rigid polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams. The invention further provides fire-retarded polyurethane compositions comprising said hydroxyl-functional phospholene-1-oxides.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a process for the preparation of aluminum salts of phosphonic acid esters by reacting phosphonic acid diesters with aluminum hydroxide in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst is selected from the group consisting of a phase transfer catalyst, a thermally stable tertiary amine having a boiling point higher than about 140°C, a thermally stable tertiary phosphine having a boiling point higher than 140°C and combinations thereof. The aluminum phosphonates prepared can be used for making flame retarded thermoplastic polymers.
