Abstract:
There is provided herein a polyurethane foam-forming composition comprising a hydroxyl-functional phosphonate of the general formula (I): wherein R1-R4 are as described herein. There is also provided a polyurethane comprising the reaction product of the polyurethane foam-forming composition and a process of making a laminated polyurethane comprising laminating a textile to a polyurethane, preferably a polyurethane foam.
Abstract:
Aminoalkyl piperazine (poly) pyrophosphates as effective flame retardants and thermoplastic polymer resins containing such flame retardants. These flame retarded resins are particularly useful in electrical and electronic components, such as casing or coverings for metal wires or cables.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a process for preparing cyclic phosphonate ester comprising reacting a glycol with at least one of phosphonic acid and phosphinic acid in the presence of a solvent. There is also provided a flame retardant comprising the cyclic phosphonate ester and industrial applications containing a flame retardant effective amount of the cyclic phosphonate ester.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a method of making hydroxymethylphosphonate comprising reacting paraformaldehyde, at least one dialkyl phosphite and at least one trialkyl phosphite, in the presence of at least one amine catalyst.
Abstract:
Halogen-free flame retarded unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites are described, where aluminum methyl methylphosphonate (AMMP) was added to a UPE matrix in order to obtain a UL94-V0 formulation. The combustion properties of AMMP are improved to that of aluminum trihydrates (ATH) in cone calorimetry. The use of AMMP prepared with phosphonium catalyst was also shown to be advantageous for retaining the gelation time of the UPE resins in a mold.
Abstract:
There is provided herein a flame retarded polyolefin composition comprising a thermoplastic polyolefin polymer, an inorganic flame retardant and a synergist comprising a metal phosphonate represented by the formula: There is also provided a method for making a flame retarded polyolefin composition comprising contacting at least one thermoplastic polyolefin polymer with at least one inorganic flame retardant and at least one metal phosphonate and heating the mixture of thermoplastic polyolefin polymer, at least one inorganic flame retardant and at least one metal phosphonate above the melting temperature of the thermoplastic polyolefin polymer.
