Description

POLYCARBONATE MOLDING MASSES REPELLENT TO THE FLAME, WITH HIGH DIMENSIONAL STABILITY IN HOT, WITH HIGH RESISTANCE TO WELDING BY FLUENCY. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to flame retardant molding compositions of polycarbonates and graft polymers, which are flame retardant by means of an effective combination of additives constituted by a monomeric phosphorus compound and by a compound of the oligomeric phosphorus. The molding compositions according to the invention are characterized by high hot dimensional stability, very high creep resistance and excellent flame repellency. Description of the prior art EP-A 0 174 493 (US-P 4 983 658) describes halogenated, flame-protected polymer mixtures, consisting of aromatic polycarbonate, styrene-containing graft copolymer, monophosphates and by a formulation special polytetrafluoroethylene. These mixtures are sufficient in the behavior to the fire and in regard to the level of mechanical values, of course there can be shortcomings in terms of the resistance to welding by creep as well as thermal stability. In US Pat. No. 5,030,675, masses of REF .: 31850 thermoplastic molding, flame repellents, constituted by aromatic polycarbonate, ABS polymer, polyalkylene terephthalate as well as monophosphates and fluorinated polyolefins as flame protection additives. Compared with the good resistance to stress fracture and the good resistance to creep welding, the drawbacks are the lack of notch resilience and insufficient thermal stability under high thermal stresses, such as during the process, for example. So of transformation. Another disadvantage must be considered in this case in the fact that, in order to obtain an effective protection against the flame, relatively high quantities of flame protection agent are required, which greatly reduce the dimensional resistance in the flame. Diphosphates are known as flame-protective additives. JA 59 202 240 describes the production of a product of this type from phosphorus oxychloride, diphenols such as hydroquinone or bisphenol A and monophenols such as phenol or cresol. These diphosphates can be used as flame retardants in polyamide or polycarbonate. EP-A 0 363 608 (= US-P 5 204 394) describes polymer mixtures consisting of aromatic polycarbonate, copolymer containing styrene and graft copolymer as well as oligomeric phosphates, in the form of flame retardant additives. These mixtures certainly exhibit good flame repellency and reduced formation of deposits in the molds, but nevertheless they do not have the high resistance to creep welding required for many applications nor the protective effect against the flame. As the molecular weight of the oligomeric phosphates increases, the activity in terms of flame protection decreases. EP-A 0 640 655 describes molding compositions consisting of polycarbonate, styrene copolymer, ABS graft polymers and a combination of mono-phosphates and oligomeric phosphates as flame retardants. Also in this case, the low resistance to fluence welding caused by the styrene copolymers should be mentioned as a drawback. According to DE-A 195 47 013 the molding compositions consisting of polycarbonates, graft polymer and oligomeric phosphates, as flameproofing agents, have excellent flame repellency. Monophosphates are not contained in the molding compositions according to the invention. EP-A 0 731 140 describes polymer mixtures consisting of carbonate, m graft polymer and a combination formed by monophosphates and oligomeric phosphates, by way of protective agents against the flame. These mixtures have good flame repellency and good thermal stability. However, it is a disadvantage that, in order to obtain an effective flame protection agent (V-0 at 1.6 mm thickness according to UL 94 V), at least five parts by weight of phosphorus compound are required, which has negative effects on hot dimensional stability. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Surprisingly it has been found at the time that molding compositions, free from halogen, consisting of polycarbonate, graft polymer and by a combination of flame-protective additives formed by a monomeric phosphorus compound and by a compound of phosphorus present a very good combination of properties formed by a high dimensional stability in hot, a good mechanical level (resilience with notch, resistance to welding by creep) and excellent flame repellency.

The mixture of components A to D is carried out in an internal 3-liter kneader. The temperature of the dough is 220-240 ° C. They are manufactured from the molding compound in an injection molding machine, rods with dimensions of 80 x 10 x 4 mm2 (transformation temperature 260 ° C), on which both the measurement of the notched resilience at room temperature (according to the ISO 180 1A method) as well as the measure of the hot dimensional stability according to Vicat B according to DIN 53 460. For the determination of the anne creep weld strength the Tenacity to the shock according to DIN 53 453 in the joining seam of specimens injected on both sides (transformation temperature: 260 ° C) with dimensions of 170 x 10 x 4 mm. The behavior to the fire of the test pieces was measured according to UL-Subj. 94 V in rods with the dimensions of 127 x 12.7 x 1.6 mm manufactured in an injection molding machine at 260 ° C. The UL 94 V test was carried out in the following manner: Substance samples are molded to give variolines with dimensions of 127 x 12.7 x 1.6 mm. The rods are mounted vertically in such a way that the bottom side of the specimens is 305 mm above a strip of bandage fabric. Each test rod is turned on individually by means of two successive firing processes of 10 seconds duration, the combustion properties are observed after each ignition process and then the sample is evaluated. For the ignition of the samples a Bunsen burner with a blue flame with a height of 10 mm (3.8 inches) of natural gas is used with a thermal unit of 3.73 x 10 hJ / m3 (1000 BUT per cubic foot) . The UL 94 V-0 classification covers the properties of the materials described below, which have been tested according to the UL 94 V protocol. The molding materials in this class do not contain samples that burn for more than 10 seconds after each application of the test flame; do not present a total flame time greater than 50 seconds during the two applications of the flame in each test group; they do not contain samples that burn completely to the upper end of the clamp that holds the sample; they do not present samples that ignite the cotton placed below the sample due to droplets or particles in combustion, nor do they contain samples that are incandescent for more than 30 seconds after the test flame has been removed. Other UL 94 classifications designate samples that are less flame repellent or that can self-extinguish in a smaller proportion because they produce droplets or particles in combustion. These classifications are designated with UL 94 V-l and V-2. N.B. means "not exceeded" and is the classification of the samples that have a subsequent burn time of > . 30 s.

The molding compositions according to the invention show a very advantageous combination of properties formed by high hot dimensional stability, good mechanical properties such as notch resilience and resistance to creep welding and excellent flame retardancy (V-0 a 1.6 mm according to UL-94 V). An addition of styrene copolymers leads to a lower drop in the hot dimensional stability and notch resilience and to a drastic drop in the yield strength. An increase in the amount of the flameproofing agents is expressed in a strong drop of the hot dimensional stability. If a monophosphate alone is used, ie an oligophosphate, the flame protection does not reach the high level of the examples according to the invention. It is noted that in relation to this date, the best method known by the applicant to carry out the aforementioned invention is that which is clear from the present detailed description of the invention.
