Description
Flame Retardant Polymer Composition
The present invention relates to flame retardant polymer compositions.
Polymers, particularly halogen-free polymers, are commonly made more flame retardant by incorporating therein a phosphoruscontaining compound, a halogen-containing compound or a mixture thereof. Some polymers are processed at high temperatures of, for example, 250"C or higher, and many known flame retardants are not suitable under these conditions because they are too volatile, or not sufficiently thermally stable.
We have now found a class of compounds which are thermally stable at high temperatures and which can be used as flame retardants in a wide range of plastics. The compounds also do not give unwanted plasticising properties to rigid polymers.
Accordingly the present invention provides a composition comprising a halogen-free polymer and a flame retardant amount of a metal or metalloid salt of a phosphonic acid of the general formula I
in which R is a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 5 or 6 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, an aralkyl group having 7 to 11 carbon atoms, an aralkenyl group having 8 to 12 carbon atoms, or a monocyclic or fused bicyclic heterocyclic group having one or more of 0, N and S as hetero atoms, R being unsubstituted or substituted by one or more halogen, hydroxyl, amino, alkoxy, carboxy or carbalkoxy groups or combinations of these groups ;; lnd R1 is hydrogen, a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms or an aralkyl group having 7 to ii carbon atoms, R1 being unsubstituted or substituted by one or more halogen, hydroxyl, amino, alkoxy, carboxy or carbalkoxy groups; and wherein the metal or metalloid is selected from Groups IIA, IIB, IIIA, IVA,
IVB, VA and VIII of the Periodic Chart of Elements (Fisher
Scientific Company 1968) provided that when the metal is an alkaline earth metal and R is an alkyl or aryl group, R is substituted by one of the groups, listed above, and further provided that when R is an alkyl group with 1 to 3 carbon atoms it is substituted by an amino, alkoxy, carboxy or carbalkoxy group.
When R is an alkyl group it preferably has 4 to 12 carbon atoms and may be, for example, butyl, pentyl, octyl, decyl or dodecyl.
When R is a cycloalkyl group it may be a cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl group.
When R is an alkenyl group it may be a vinyl, propenyl, butenyl, pentenyl or hexenyl group.
When R is an aryl group, it may be a phenyl or naphthyl group.
When R is an aralkyl group it may be a benzyl, phenyl ethyl or naphthylmethyl group.
When R is a heterocyclic or heteroalkyl group it may be, for example, a furan, thiophene, pyrrole, pyrazole, pyrazolone, imidazole, imidazolone, triazole, oxazole, isoxazole, pyridine, pyridone, pyrimidine, pyrimidinone, pyridazine, pyridazinone, triazine, benzimidazole, benzimidazolone, benzothiazole or benzoxazole group.
When R1 is an alkyl group it may be a methyl, ethyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl or octyl group.
The metal or metalloid may be, for example, magnesium, calcium, barium, zinc, boron, aluminium, tin, antimony, iron, cobalt, nickel or titanium.
Preferably the metal is magnesium or aluminium, most preferably aluminium.
The salt may be a simple ionic compound formed between anions of the phosphonic acid and cations of the metal or metalloid.
Where R' is H and the metal or metalloid has a valency greater than one, the salt may have a polymeric structure as represented by the general formula (II)
where R is as defined above, M is the metal or metalloid, n has a value one less than the valency of M and m is from 2 to 100 and where each group
is attached to M atoms only.
Non limiting Examples of phosphonic acid salts of the present invention are given below.
The phosphonic acid salts are either known, or can be readily prepared by known methods. The phosphonic acid or its sodium salt-may be reacted with the metal carbonate or oxide, e.g.
The sodium salt of the phosphonic acid or partial ester may also be reacted in aqueous solution with a water-soluble metal salt, e.g.
Other processes include reacting an ester of the phosphonic acid with a metal halide or metal alkoxide, e.g.
The amount of phosphonic acid salt added to the polymer as a flame retardant may be varied over a wide range. Usually from 0.1 to 100 parts are used per 100 parts by weight of polymer.
Preferably there are used 0.5 to 30 parts and, most preferably, from 2 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of polymer.
The optimum amount used depends on the nature of the polymer and the actual salt used and may be readily determined by simple experiment. However, because the salts are generally effective at low levels of addition they produce less unwanted effects in the polymer than other known flame retardant additives.
The salts may be used in various physical forms depending on the polymer used and the desired properties. For instance the salts may be ground to a finely divided form to enable better dispersion throughout the polymer. Also, mixtures of different salts may be used if desired.
The phosphonic acid salts may be used in various polymers.
Examples of polymers which may be rendered flame retardant are: 1. Polyphenylene oxides and sulfides, and blends of these polymers with polyamides, polyesters such as polybutylene terephthalate, polystyrene graft and copolymers such as high impact polystyrene, EPDM copolymers with rubbers.
2. Polyurethanes which are derived from polyethers, polyesters or polybutadiene with terminal hydroxyl groups on the one side and aliphatic or aromatic polyisocyanates on the other side including polyisocyanurates, as well as precursors thereof.
3. Polyamides and copolyamides which are derived from diamines and dicarboxylic acids and/or from aminocarboxylic acids or the corresponding lactams, such as polyamide 4, polyamide 6, polyamide 6/6, polyamide 6/10, polyamide 11, polyamide 12, poly-2,4,4-trimethylhexamethylene terephthalamide or poly-m-phenylene isophthalamide, as well as copolymers thereof with polyethers, such as for instance, with polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol or polytetramethylene glycols.
4. Polyesters which are derived from dicarboxylic acids and dialcohols and/or from hydroxycarboxylic acids or the corresponding lactones, such as polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, poly-1,4-dimethylol-cyclohexane terephthalate and polyhydroxybenzoates as well as block-copolyether-esters derived from polyethers having hydroxyl end groups.
5. Unsaturated polyester resins which are derived from copolyesters of saturated and unsaturated dicarboxylic acids ith polyhydric alcohols and vinyl compounds as crosslinking agents, and also halogen-containing modifications thereof of low inflammability.
6. Polystyrene.
7. Graft copolymers of styrene, such as, for example, styrene on polybutadiene, styrene and acrylonitrile on polybutadiene, styrene and alkyl acrylates or methacrylates on polybutadiene, styrene and acrylonitrile on ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymers, styrene and acrylonitrile on polyacrylates or polymethacrylates, styrene and acrylonitrile on acrylate/ butadiene copolymers, as well as mixtures thereof with random copolymers of styrene or s(-methylstyrene with dienes or acrylic derivatives, for instance the copolymer mixtures known as ABS-,
MBS-, ASA- or AES-copolymers.
8. Cross-linked epoxide resins which are derived from polyepoxides, for example, from bis-glycidyl ethers or from cycloaliphatic diepoxides.
9. Polycarbonates and blends thereof with other polymers such as ABS.
The compositions of the invention may also contain other conventional ingredients, such as heat stabilisers, light stabilisers, ultra-violet light absorbers, anti-oxidants, anti-static agents, preservatives, adhesion promotors, fillers, pigments, lubricants, blowing agents, fungicides, plasticisers, processing aids, other fire-retardant additives and smoke suppressants.
Other fire retardant additives which may be used with the phosphonic acid salts include phosphorus containing esters and salts such as triaryl phosphates, alkyl aryl phosphates and ammonium polyphosphate, halogen, especially bromine and chlorine containing compounds such as haloalkyl phosphate and phosphonate esters, antimony oxide, hydrated alumina, bismuth oxide, molybdenum oxide, or mixtures of these compounds with zinc and/or magnesium oxide, hydroxide or salts.
