CS203150B2 - Polyvinylhalogenide mixture with reduced formation of smoke at burning - Google Patents

Abstract

The addition of 2-30 parts of zinc oxide to stabilized plasticized polyvinyl halide compositions results in reduced smoke generation under burning conditions. Optionally calcium carbonate or magnesium oxide is incorporated as a synergistic filler. Synthetic materials undergoing forced combustion emit smoke and toxic gases which are dangerous fire hazards because they impair escape, produce injury, limit survival and hamper fire fighting efforts. This is especially true for such applications as linings of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, and house interiors, as well as for furniture and the like.

Description

Plasticized polyvinyl halide polymer blends with reduced smoke formation on combustion are known which contain 2 to 30 parts of zinc oxide.

Zinc oxide has previously been commonly used in polyvinyl halide resins as a stabilizer (U.S. Patent No. 3,446,765), as a pigment (U.S. Patent No. 2,682,484), and as a stabilizer for non-co-promoters (U.S. Patent No. 3,041,193).

Specific materials exposed to forced combustion release smoke and toxic gases that are dangerous to fire because they exacerbate the possibility of leakage, cause injury, reduce survival and prevent fire. The latest statistics show that around half of fatal accidents in incidental fires are caused by smoke, and not by heat or burning. There is a need to develop synthetic organic materials with as little properties as possible! releasing smoke. These materials are particularly needed for the cladding of airplanes, ships, motor vehicles and home interiors, as well as in the manufacture of furniture and the like.

It is known that large amounts of black smoke are released when the polyvinyl halide ear is burned. Soil fillers, such as dloethyl phthalate, emit more smoke than ophthalmic analogs. From the viewpoint of burning prevention, there are worthless substances for polyvinyl halides, such as tin, lead, magnesium, manganese, tellurium, titanium, copper, greyhound, aluminum, vanadium and tungsten, because they can smoke. It has been found that antimeoint oxide, which is commonly experienced as a flame retardant of polyvinyl halide compounds, can often cause an increase in smoke generation. during forced combustion.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a polyvinyllialogenide mixture with. reduced smoke generation when burned.

Previous znai-ossi state that there is usually a direct relationship _? among scho] plia zibxrtait smoking and masculine used smoke-burning ingredients, usually with more smoke-burning ingredients, more metal-ibпП is obtained if the other factors remain the same. In some cases, the upper bead of the smoking agent is particularly used. This upper spike is the basis for eclectic fictors, such as ceoi, ease of mixing, or interference with some other plaque. subasrate.

Particularly in the case of the present invention, it has been unexpectedly discovered that only a direct dependence between smoking prevention prevails in the amount of smoking prevention additive. In the case of zinc oxide and a mixture of phthalate plasticizer and trimellittt plasmicizer, the total plasticizer content of about 70 parts per 100 parts of smoke release decreases rapidly as the zinc oxide rises to about 7 parts per 100 parts of polystyrene chloride and then unexpectedly increases in release. % of zinc oxide from about 10 parts to 30 parts, based on 100 parts of polyvinyl chloride.

As the content of the plaque is increased, the optimum concentration of zinc oxide also increases. The preferred zinc oxide is from 3 to 30 parts, based on 100 parts of poly-4-vinyl halide, and particularly preferred grit for minimal smoke release is 2 to 10 parts, based on 100 parts of polyoloyl halide, when the plasticizer content is 30 to 50 parts, and is 5 to 12 parts when the plasticizer content is 50 to 100 parts.

The formulations of the present invention can be used in applications where polystyrene halides are suitable but are not comminuted, such as coated fabrics, wire and cable insulation, and sheathing, wallpaper, and the like. Examples of suitable fibrous backing materials for fabric coating are cotton and viscose fabrics, felt, paper, polyester fabrics and blends of previous materials. The sheets can be coated by cladding, cast coating, rolling, rolling or any other method well known to those skilled in the art.

In practicing the present invention, zinc oxide, such as a smoking additive, an antimony compound, a flame retardant, fillers, and other components of the mixture may be mixed into the mixture by any suitable mixing technique conventional in the art.

In the examples below, all mixtures are made, unless otherwise stated, as follows:

The ingredients are first mixed by hand and then for 10 minutes on a two-roll electrically heated differential mill maintained at 150 ° C. HomogeeH! the mixture is then melted in a hydrotreated use at 30 tons for 10 minutes at 160 ° C under full pressure. Forms 7.62 x 15.24 x 0.06 cm are used. In the smoke discharge test of the various compositions, the test specimens of 7.62 x 7.62 x about 0.06 cm were cut from the molten mix plates as above. Each sample is spilled onto an aluminum foil, cut to size, which allows the sample areas to be redrawn from all four sides. The wrapped sample is placed in the holder and panned in the Amine smoke chamber of the NBS · - according to supplementary instructions and according to NBS Technical Report 708 of December 1971.

The amount of smoke is helping! fžtžoátžbičr. The optical density is wasted and then correlated on the carbon black of the armor on the lens at the end of the test. Measurements are made by attenuating the beam of light absorbed by the smoke in a closed chamber used for flame combustion. The results are expressed with respect to the specific optical density, which is derived from the generic factor and the measured optical density (adsorbe). This is a simple measurement of oejchatrtkeriiSicker concentrations' - smoke ”. (Fc) Trimeric scale - used to measure smoking in this test method is similar to the optical density scale for human observations.

The network without addition of zinc oxide provides a corrected maximum optical density - in the range of 400 - or more. To compare 10 parts of the oxide, it shrinks - this number to less than about 200. In the NBS test, the smaller the number, tm shows less smoke. It should be noted that most of the specific smmsi density values are averages from measurements taken on two or more test samples at each site. Generally, two networks are used as if they had different altitudes of smoke if the difference in the math specific optical density is greater than 10.

Further details on reducing smoke evolution are given in the following examples, wherein all components are given in parts by weight per 100 parts of polyvinyl chloride resin. All blends contain 1.8 parts barium, cadmium and zinc stabilizers,

2.7 parts epoxidized soybean oil and 0.2 parts stearic acid unless otherwise stated.

Example 1 p

Mixture containing 100 parts by weight of polyvinyl chloride (Marvinol 22 from Uniroyal, Inc.), 70 parts by weight of dioctyl phthalate plasticizer (DOP), 15 parts by weight of calcium carbonate as a filler, 10 parts by weight of antimony trioxide (Sb2O4) and 10 parts by weight of zinc oxide. mix manually and then grind on a two-roll mill for 10 minutes. The mixture is poured under pressure into plates with a thickness of about 0.06 cm as previously described. Two 7.62 cm square square samples are then cut from the plates and the smoke evolution in the Amineo NBS smoke chamber is tested using a combustion test.

The above procedure is then repeated, omitting zinc oxide.

The average maximum specific optical density for both mixtures is as follows:

with zinc oxide 176 without zinc oxide 374

Example 2

The procedure of Example 1 was repeated using different plasticizers. The mixtures and smoke release results are shown in Table 1 below.

The plasticizers listed in Table 1 are designated by protected names as follows:

Phthalate type

Santicizer 711 = mixture of (C 1 -C 4) alkyl phthalates

PX-316 = a mixture of alkyl phthalates, higher percentage of linear chains than Santicizer 711

Phosphate type

Santicizer 141 = 2-ethylhexyldiphenylphosphate

Santicizer 148 = isodecyl diphenyl phosphate

Trimellitate type

Santicizer 79 ™ = mixture of (Cy-Cg) alkyl trimellitates

The results in Table 1 clearly show that the introduction of 10 parts by weight of zinc oxide remarkably reduces the amount of smoke released from the antimony trioxide mixture as a flame retardant regardless of the plasticizer.
