Abstract:
The invention disclose halogen free thermoplastic or cross linked polymers compositions comprising a polyolefin and/or a polyolefin containing polar co-monomers and a combination of metal hydroxides and inorganic hypophosphite as a synergic, and optionally other ingredients. These compositions show a superior balance of flame retardant properties compared to already known corresponding halogen free formulations. Molded items obtained using the polymer composition according to the present invention are useful in a wide range of injection molding and extrusion applications, especially cables.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to halogen-free flame retarded thermoplastic moulding compositions based on a polyester resin, a process for their preparation and halogen-free flame retarded corresponding articles.The composition according to the invention comprises at least from 0.1 to 30% by weight of aluminium hypophosphite as halogen free flame retardant additive, in case in addition to a mixture of other halogen free flame retardant additives and at least from 5 to 95% by weight of a polymer based on polyester, particularly a linear polyester resin.
Abstract:
The present invention provides flame retardant thermoplastic moulding compositions comprising: A) from 65% to 99.5% by weight (with respect of the total weight of the final composition) of a polyolefinic polymer particularly selected among polypropylene polymers; B) from 0.1% to 30% by weight (with respect of the total weight of the final composition) of a synergic mixture of an hypophosphorous acid metal salt and halogenated organic compounds; C) from 0.5% to 10% by weight (with respect of the total weight of the final composition) of a plurality of selected additives consisting of processing aids, heat and process stabilisers, UV stabilisers, antidripping agents (PTFE—Polytetrafluoroethylene), pigments, mould releasing agents, nucleating agents; D) from 0% to 50% by weight (with respect of the total weight of the final composition) of an inorganic filler. The total of the percentages by weight of components A to D is 100%.
