FIBER-REINFORCED, FLAME RETARDANT POLY(ESTER-CARBONATE) COMPOSITIONS
Abstract:
A flame retardant composition includes poly(carbonate-bisphenol phthalate ester) or a combination of poly(carbonate-bisphenol phthalate ester) and a poly(ester), an organophosphorous flame retardant present in an amount effective to provide 0.5-0.8 wt % of added phosphorous; 5-45 wt % of glass fibers; optionally, a poly(carbonate-siloxane); optionally, 0.01-10 wt % of a flame retardant sulfonate salt; optionally, 0.1-0.6 wt % of an anti-drip agent; and optionally, 0.01-10 wt % an additive composition, wherein the amount of the polymer component, the organophosphorous flame retardant, the glass fibers, and the optional components total 100 wt %; and wherein a molded sample of the flame retardant composition has a UL 94 rating of V0 at a thickness of 1.2 millimeter, preferably a CA UL 94 rating of V0 at a thickness 0.8 millimeter.
