Description

Smoke-inhibiting flame retardant composition
The invention relates to a kind of smoke-inhibiting flame retardant composition, refer to a kind of make an addition to polyvinyl chloride (PVC, polyvinyl chloride) and can effectively suppress the polyvinyl chloride amount of being fuming when burning, the smoke-inhibiting flame retardant composition of the anti-combustion characteristic of raising especially.
Polyvinyl chloride is a kind of synthetic thermoplastic polymer, has that the processing of high ductibility, great tolerant plasticity (Commodity thermoplastics) is good, a dielectricity, the difficult combustion of moisture resistance weather-proof, tool characteristic own, low price ... etc. advantage.The former scope of using is extremely wide, and is last to the insulation coating of electric wire, down to water pipe, furniture synthetic leather, door, window, foaming panel wall, raincoat, toy, floor, synthetic paper ... Deng, its application is all arranged.
Yet, because the polyvinyl chloride chlorinity is up to more than 56%, can discharge the poisonous dense smoke of high density during burning, go out when taking place in fire, not only hindered survivor's sight line, toxic gas directly causes the people especially in extremely.Though secondly polyvinyl chloride itself has flame retardancy, but produce foaming material, electric wire or sofa rubber with it ... Deng, manufacturer is in order to satisfy the demand of using and processing, often need to add auxiliary agents such as softening agent, stablizer or whipping agent, making pvc material lose the inherent difficulty fires characteristic and becomes flammable, and most particularly, produce a large amount of poisonous dense smoke during burning.
The relevant scholar in home and abroad, expert adopt several different methods for solving the problem that is produced when above-mentioned polyvinyl chloride burns at present.More (Moore F.W.1991 for example, Journal of VinylTechnology, 13 (3), Sep.) propose with zinc borate together additive (as phosphoric acid ester, bromination acid esters) be blended in the pvc material, but to reach the amount of being fuming when falling the polyvinyl chloride burning and to improve flame retardant resistance; Mai Maleier (McMurrer, M., 1991,9, Plastics Compounding) proposition applying boric acid zinc and ammonium molybdate mix jointly and add in the polyvinyl chloride, effectively reduce to be fuming to reach 50%; The card base of a fruit (Carty, P.1995,8 (4), Engineering Plastics) the amount of the being fuming when stannate of touching upon, alkali ferric oxide and ammonium molybdate can effectively suppress the pvc material burning; Bei Gelai etc. (R.G.Baggaley 1997, Vol.21, Fire and Materials) utilize hydroxyl pink salt and aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide pressing down fumicants and promoting its limited oxygen index (LOI) and reach 45.8 as pvc material.Aspect various countries' patent, (1976, US 3957723, Lawson) propose with Al (OH) as the labor life in addition 3But complement each other to fall the polyvinyl chloride amount of being fuming in when burning with ZnO; Uniroyal company (1984, US 4464502) then delivers the effect that multiplies each other with ZnO and MgO, the amount of being fuming when suppressing the polyvinyl chloride burning; Japanese Patent (1997 JP 9-227747) is with phosphorus compound and the expanded graphite anti-flaming smoke-inhibiting agent as pvc material; United States Patent (USP) (1997, US 5906679), the daily output chemistry is with ZnO/Sb 2O 5Melt adds in the pvc material mutually, reaches smoke suppressing effect; Recently, A Erkan company (US 5891571 in 1999, Alcan Inc.) utilizes ammonium octamolybdate, zinc and antimonous oxide to mix to add in the polyvinyl chloride, with the amount of being fuming of effective inhibition polyvinyl chloride.
Take a broad view of above-mentioned various polyvinyl chloride and press down cigarette, flame-retardant formulations composition, we can find:
(1) adds Al (OH) 3, Mg (OH) 2Deng inorganic hydrate, need heavy addition (general addition is 50-150phr, the umber in per hundred parts of resins of phr=or the rubber) just can show and press down cigarette, fire-proof function.So a large amount of interpolation not only increases the degree of difficulty of manufacturing processed, and the polyvinyl chloride performance easily is damaged, and often can't satisfy the coml demand.
(2) add zinc borate system, subtract that to fall cigarette dose-effect fruit limited, and flameproof effect is not good.
(3) add inorganicss such as stannate, ammonium molybdate and cost an arm and a leg, smoke suppressing effect is not obvious at least as if addition, increases progressively (maximum is about 50% and subtracts the amount of falling) if addition>5phr then presses down hood and inequality.
(4) add zinc oxide/weisspiessglanz system, can promote the flame retardancy of polyvinyl chloride, but but can't effectively fall the amount of being fuming, and have the problem of discharging metaantimmonic acid gas when burning.
(5) adding phosphoric acid salt with expanded graphite is, fire-proof function is obvious, but the amount of being fuming subtract fall limited.
(6) with hydroxyl pink salt lining aluminium hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide, smoke suppressing effect is still good, and 40phr is above just a unusual effect but fire line need be added.
More than comprehensive, the shortcoming of prior art or be that addition is big influences performance; Or for cost an arm and a leg, smoke suppressing effect is less than 50%, can not satisfy business-like demand.
Therefore, the utmost point need be developed a kind of novel fire-retardant constituent that presses down cigarette, and it can make an addition in the pvc material reaching the purpose that presses down cigarette and high flame retardant, and can reach and suppress the effect of polyvinyl chloride burning fuming amount more than 50% at a small amount of add (3-25phr).
The inventor in line with the spirit of actively inventing, conceives a kind of " smoke-inhibiting flame retardant composition " that can address the above problem for these reasons, and several times research experiment has been finished this invention eventually.
Main purpose of the present invention provides a kind of smoke-inhibiting flame retardant composition, the amount of being fuming in the time of effectively suppressing the pvc material burning, and the limited oxygen index (Limit OxygenIndex) of lifting pvc material.
Smoke-inhibiting flame retardant composition of the present invention comprises the main body powder of (A) pink salt powder and molybdenum salt powdered mixture, and (B) the auxilliary body powder of any two or more mixture of Sn oxide powder or aluminium hydroxide powder or zinc and boron oxide powder or sb oxide powder or its.
