Abstract:
There is provided herein a flame retardant and curing agent compound for curing thermosetting resins, e.g., epoxy resins, a composition comprising a thermosetting resin, e.g., 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 phosphate ester-modified clay composition comprising a clay and a phosphate ester, a method of making the phosphate ester-modified clay composition and a PVC nanocomposite comprising the same.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a flame retardant liquid solution comprising a brominated flame retardant solute and a hydroxyl-functional phosphonate solvent of the general formula (I) described herein; and, wherein the solvent of the general formula (I) has a viscosity of less than 1,000 cps. In addition, there is provided a polyurethane foam-forming composition comprising a polyol, a catalyst and the flame retardant liquid solution, or alternatively, polyurethane foam- forming composition comprising an a catalyst and the flame retardant liquid solution, wherein the hydroxyl-functional phosphonate solvent of the general formula (I) functions as a hydroxyl- containing component and/or a flame retardant in the polyurethane foam-forming composition, as well as articles made from either of the polyurethane foam-forming compositions.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a polyurethane solution comprising a polyurethane solute dissolved in a trialkyl phosphate solvent. The polyurethane solution, in certain aspects of the invention, is used to coat a substrate, e.g., a textile substrate, to form a polyurethane coated substrate. A method of preparing the polyurethane solution is also provided. Finally, there is also provided herein a method of preparing a thermoplastic polyurethane coated substrate.
