Phosphorus silica PIN FRs synergy

Phosphorus silica PIN FRs synergy

Phosphorus and nitrogen functionalised silica showed to be an effective flame retardant in thermoplastic polyurethane. Silica was amine then propargyl functionalised, then reacted with a phosphorus and nitrogen containing derivate of pentaerythritol using alkine-azyde...
Macromolecular phosphorus nitrogen FR

Macromolecular phosphorus nitrogen FR

A branched chain dialkyl phosphinate – dialkyl ammonium PIN FR achieved UL 94 V-0 (1 mm) in polyamide PA6. The macromolecular PIN FR was prepared by reacting a commercial phosphorus containing cyclic acid anhydride (2-Methyl-1,2-oxaphospholan-5-one-2-oxide) with...
Polymeric iron phosphorus nitrogen PIN FR

Polymeric iron phosphorus nitrogen PIN FR

P-functionalised polyethyleneimine with iron salt achieved UL 94 V-0 in epoxy and improved mechanical properties. The commercial nitrogen containing polymer polyethylenimine (PEI) was reacted with phosphoric acid, then combined with ferric (Fe3+) salt, giving an iron...
Metal melamine phytate PIN FRs

Metal melamine phytate PIN FRs

Phytic acid (natural organophosphate), with melamine and metal ions, reduced fire, smoke and toxic gases in polyamide. Melamine (an organo-nitrogen molecule) was reacted with phytic acid (the biological phosphorus storage molecule of plants) to produce melamine...
Aluminium silica PIN FR treatment for wood

Aluminium silica PIN FR treatment for wood

PIN mineral salts and water-borne epoxy were used to fire safety treat wood, reducing flammability and fire gas toxicity. Fire safety is critical to enable use of wood as a renewable carbon-sink material for green building. PIN mineral salts, with good environment...
