Description

  The present invention relates to a flame retardant composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to a flame retardant composition that is excellent in processability and excellent in flame retardancy, moisture absorption resistance, and heat resistance when blended in a resin or the like.

  Conventionally, as a technique for making flame-retardant resins flame retardant, a method of adding a chlorine-containing compound, a bromine-containing compound, antimony trioxide, or the like, or a method of containing a chlorine-containing compound or a bromine-containing compound in a resin has been used. However, it has been pointed out that these are not preferable from the viewpoint of environmental protection, toxicity, etc., and improvement of the flame retardant method is demanded. Flame retardant methods using phosphorus-based flame retardants are being studied as flame retardant methods that do not use chlorine-containing or bromine-containing flame retardants.

It is said that the flame retardant mechanism of action is that the polyphosphoric acid phase generated on the surface of the resin during combustion and the carbonized phase resulting from the dehydration of the resin form a film, blocking the heat and oxygen supply to the resin during combustion. Yes. It is particularly effective for a resin that easily forms a carbonized film, that is, is easily dehydrated. On the other hand, when a resin that is difficult to form a carbonized film by dehydration is to be made flame retardant with phosphorus and a phosphorus compound, the polyphosphoric acid phase film must mainly be relied upon, so that the blending amount must be increased.
In order to make a resin that is difficult to form a carbonized film without increasing the compounding amount of phosphorus and phosphorus compounds, the idea of using a flame retardant composition in which a component that is a raw material of the carbonized film is used in advance is born.

  Patent Document 1 proposes a method of using a crosslinked phosphazene compound and a polyphenylene ether resin as a flame retardant for a polyalkylene arylate resin. This imparts good flame retardancy to the polyalkylene arylate resin, but was not satisfactory in terms of workability, heat resistance, mechanical properties, dielectric properties, and appearance of the molded product.

  Moreover, the flame retardant composition used in combination with the low molecular weight polyphenylene ether resin and the phosphazene compound proposed in Patent Document 2 is also effective from the viewpoint of flame retardancy and moldability. However, the requirements for molding processability, mechanical properties, dielectric properties and heat resistance, and the requirement for reducing the amount of flame retardant added are not exhausted, and further improvements are required.

  Patent Document 3 proposes a composite flame retardant comprising a metal element-containing compound and an aromatic group-containing phosphazene compound. However, the metal element-containing compound used for use in Patent Document 3 is allowed to be optional and there is no provision. Further, the silicon compound, magnesium hydroxide and the like used in Patent Document 3 tend to deteriorate the dielectric characteristics, and are not preferable in fields where dielectric characteristics are required, such as electrical and electronic applications. There is a need for flame retardants that do not invite.

  Patent Documents 4 to 6 describe a resin composition in which an aromatic-containing resin, a phosphazene compound, and a metal compound are combined. In these patent documents, optionality is permitted for the metal compound used for use, and it is not disclosed what kind of compound is specifically indicated, what kind of metal oxide, metal hydroxide, etc. are included. .

Moreover, the metal hydroxides used in Patent Documents 4 to 6 tend to deteriorate the dielectric characteristics, mechanical characteristics, etc., and are not preferable. From these conventional techniques, in addition to flame retardancy, heat resistance, moisture absorption resistance, by mixing a specific phosphazene compound and a specific metal oxide found by the present inventors at a predetermined ratio, The effect of maintaining and improving various physical properties such as mechanical properties, dielectric properties, extrusion workability, and low smoke generation cannot be found. Such an excellent effect is achieved for the first time by the present invention as described later.
