Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of at least one urea compound of the formula (I), wherexis 1, 2 or 3; R 1 and R 2 are selected from hydrogen, linear C 1 -C 7 -alkyl, branched C 3 -C 10 -alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted C 3 -C 12 -cycloalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted C 3 -C 12 -cycloalkyl-C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, unsubstituted or substituted aryl and unsubstituted or substituted aryl-C 1 -C 4 -alkyl; and Z is selected from C 3 -C 10 -alkanediyl, unsubstituted or substituted arylene, unsubstitutedor substituted arylene-C 1 -C 4 -alkylene-arylene, unsubstituted or substituted heteroarylene, unsubstituted or substituted heteroarylene-C 1 -C 4 -alkylene-heteroarylene, unsubstituted or substituted C 5 -C 8 -cycloalkylene, unsubstituted or substituted C 5 -C 8 -cycloalkylene-C 1 -C 4 -alkylene-C 5 -C 8 -cycloalkylene, unsubstituted or substituted heterocycloalkylene and unsubstituted or substituted heterocycloalkylene-C 1 -C 4 -alkylene-heterocycloalkylene for improving at least one solid state property of a polyamide resin. The solid state property is preferably selected from mechanical properties and gloss.
Abstract:
The invention relates to flame retardant compositions, wherein a phosphinic acid hydrazide is present in a polymer substrate. The combination with >NOR-compounds improves the flame retardant properties.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to the use of specific derivatives of diphosphines as flame retardants in aromatic and heteroaromatic epoxy resins and to a method for reducing the flammability of organic material comprising aromatic and/or heteroaromatic epoxy resins in which the specific derivates of diphosphines are incorporated. More-over, the invention is related to an aromatic and/or heteroaromatic epoxy resin composition containing aromatic and heteroaromatic epoxy resin as such or in processed form and incorporated in the aromatic and/or heteroaromatic epoxy resin at least one of the derivatives of diphosphines in an amount of from 1 to 35% by weight, based on the weight of the aromatic and/or heteroaromatic epoxy resin.
