Abstract:
A liquid flame retardant composition which comprises one or more flame retarding agents, which are the epoxides obtainable by reacting tetrabromobisphenol A with epichlorohydrin and their end-capped derivatives represented by Formula (1) is provided. The liquid composition is especially useful in the preparation of rigid polyurethane foams.
Abstract:
A flame retardant composition for flammable plastic materials and a method for producing the same are disclosed. The flame retardant composition comprises 2,4,6-tris(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine that contains 1 to 1000 ppm of a metal species of a water-insoluble polyvalent metal compound selected from the group consisting of oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, phosphate, sulfate and silicate present in the particles of 2,4,6-tris(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine. The flame retardant composition is produced by reacting an alkali metal salt of 2,4,6-tribromophenol and cyanuric chloride in the presence of said water-insoluble polyvalent metal compound.
Abstract:
The invention provides a solution polymerization process, comprising polymerizing pentabromobenzyl acrylate or pentabromobenzyl methacrylate in a mixture of water-miscible aprotic solvent and water, in the presence of a water-soluble free radical initiator and preferably also chain length regulator. The polymers obtained and their uses as flame retardants in polypropylene, HIPS, ABS and textile products are also disclosed.
