Dimelamine pyrophosphate (DMPY) was synthesised in one step (97% yield) from melamine and sodium pyrophosphate, then tested as a flame retardant in DGEBA/PDA epoxy resin at 0 – 12% loading. UL94-V1 (3.2 mm) was achieved at 8% DMPY and V0 at >9%. LOI was increased...
A zinc oxide – organic triazine compound (OTCA-ZnO) was prepared and tested as a flame retardant in EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate polymer) in combination with APP (ammonium polyphosphate) at total loading of 25% (App 0-25%, OTCA-ZnO 25-0%) by melt-mixing. OTCA-ZnO...
“Phosphorus tailings” – waste generated in large quantities by phosphate rock mining (in this study, from Tiaoshuihe phosphate mine, Hubei Sanning Mining, China) were tested as a flame retardant, at 2.5 – 10% loading, with 15 – 25% aluminium hypophosphite, in...
Sulfenamides are organic PIN chemicals containing nitrogen-sulphur bonds and carbon rings. Five different sulfenamides were synthesised, with in some cases additional nitrogen groups, and were tested as synergists to PIN flame retardants in polypropylene (phosphonate...
