Abstract:
Provided is a flame-retardant thermoplastic resin composition in which any halogenated flame retardant is not used but a phosphoric flame retardant is used, which has flame retardancy meeting U.S. UL Standard 94 V-2, which exhibits excellent dripping performance during burning, and which is excellent in balance between properties. The flame-retardant thermoplastic resin composition contains 100 parts by mass of a copolymer mixture containing a graft copolymer (A) obtained by graft-polymerizing a rubbery polymer, a vinyl cyanide compound, and a copolymerizable vinyl compound and a vinyl copolymer (B) which is obtained by copolymerizing the vinyl cyanide compound and the copolymerizable vinyl compound and which has a mass-average molecular weight of 90,000 to 160,000 and 5 to 20 parts by mass of a phosphoric flame retardant (C) blended with the copolymer mixture. The content CB 1 of vinyl cyanide units in the acetone-insoluble fraction of the copolymer mixture is 22.0% to 32.0% by mass, the content CB 2 of vinyl cyanide units in the acetone-soluble fraction thereof is 22.0% to 34.0% by mass, and |CB 1 - CB 2 | is 0% to 3.0% by mass.
Abstract:
The invention offers a flame-retardant resin sheet that not only can have a low dielectric constant but also has excellent flexibility, flame retardancy, and thin-film processibility and a flat cable incorporating the sheet. The flame-retardant resin sheet contains a resin constituent; containing polyphenylene ether at a content of 5 mass % or more and 75 mass % or less, a thermoplastic elastomer at a content of 5 mass % or more and 40 mass % or less, and polyolefin at a content of 20 mass % or more and 90 mass % or less; and a phosphorus-based flame retardant, a nitrogen-based flame retardant, or both at 5 to 100 mass parts per 100 mass parts of the resin constituent. A flexible flat cable incorporates the flame-retardant resin sheet as a covering material.
Abstract:
New branched or star-branched styrene polymeric, telomeric, and monomeric product distributions, their preparation, their use as raw materials for bromination to produce flame retardants, the flame retardants themselves, and their use as flame retardants in various polymeric substrates are described.
Abstract:
Cable coatings having effective low-smoke emission, fire resistance and moisture resistance provided by a single layer are described. The cable coatings contain an base polymer, a oxygen containing ethylene copolymer, a fire retardant and a synergistic blend of magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide. Cables coated with the described coatings have improved wet electrical performance, and satisfactory fire performance and smoke characteristics.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a thermoplastic flame-retardant alloy and a method for preparing it, composed of the following components by the shares and weights as below: 5-94 shares of ABS resin, 3-94 shares of polyester or co-polyester or the mixture of both, 1-50 shares of brominated flame retardant, 1-10 shares of synergistic flame-retardant, 0.001-30 shares of chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), 0.001-2 shares of anti-dripping agent and 0.1-6 shares of processing aid. Comparing with the ABS flame retardant presenting the prior art, the thermoplastic flame-retardant alloy features better glossiness, scratch resistance, stronger ultraviolet radiation resistance and better mechanical property, thus making up for the disadvantage that the flame-retardant ABS is prone to become yellow on some occasions with high weatherability requirements. Furthermore, the preparation method of the thermoplastic flame-retardant alloy for the present invention is successive, stable and feasible.
Abstract:
A polypropylene composition comprising polypropylene impact copolymer or impact modified polypropylene and an effective flame retarding amount of a mixture of (i) tris(tribromoneopentyl) phosphate and (ii) a carbon-carbon initiator, wherein the composition meets a UL 94 rating of V-1 or V-0, said composition being substantially free from antimony trioxide. A method for improving the flame retarding rating of a polypropylene composition is also disclosed.
