Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a styrenic flame retardant resin composition, and a styrene flame retardant resin composition containing the styrenic flame retardant resin composition,

The present invention relates to a styrenic flame retardant resin composition and a styrenic flame retardant resin composition containing the styrenic flame retardant resin composition. More particularly, the present invention relates to a styrenic flame retardant resin composition which is excellent in flame retardance, fluidity, And a styrene flame retardant resin composition containing the same.

The rubber-modified styrenic resin has excellent processability and physical properties and is widely used as an exterior material for electrical and electronic products and office equipment. However, the rubber-modified styrenic resin itself has a characteristic of easily burning and has little resistance to fire.

Due to these problems, rubber-modified styrene resins used in electrical and electronic products and office equipment must satisfy the flame retardant specifications in order to ensure the safety of electric and electronic products against fire.

Methods of imparting flame retardancy to a resin include a method of polymerizing a resinous material using a monomer containing a flame retardant component and a method of adding a flame retardant and a flame retarding agent to the resin to impart flame retardancy. In the latter case, flame retardancy is imparted through kneading of a halogen-based flame retardant and a non-halogen-based flame retardant. However, in the case of phosphorus-based, nitrogen-based and hydroxide-based flame retardants, which are non-halogen flame retardants, the efficiency is significantly lower than that of halogen-based flame retardants. Therefore, a high content ratio to achieve a certain level of flame retardancy is inevitable, . As a result, halogen-based flame retardants are the most effective method for simultaneously satisfying flame retardance and mechanical properties of resins, and brominated organic flame retardants are most effective for rubber-modified styrene resins.

When the flame retardancy is realized by using such a brominated organic flame retardant and a preparation, a dropping phenomenon may occur due to a decrease in viscosity due to an increase in the resin temperature during the combustion of the resin. Such a dropping phenomenon may occur in another combustion portion It can cause diffusion. Therefore, in order to realize flame retardancy of V-0 or V-1 class, an anti-drip agent is typically used, and fluorine-based fluorinated polyethylene is used as a typical anti-drip agent.

The fluorinated polyethylene-based drip inhibitor uses a phenomenon that the linear shrinkage occurs when the resin is present in the resin as a linear improvement under high temperature conditions. When the resin is contained in the resin according to such physical properties, the fluidity of the resin is lowered. It is disadvantageous in that it is difficult to process due to the phenomenon of swelling (Die swell) and single-strand phenomenon of strand.

Also, when used as an electronic part of a large-sized electronic product, shrinkage of the anti-dripping agent may affect the overall shrinkage of the resin.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a styrene-based flame retardant resin composition using an inhibitor that exhibits an effect of preventing dropping without effectively reducing the shrinkage of the resin.

That is, the object of the present invention is to provide a flame-retardant agent capable of replacing the fluorine-containing antistatic agent to overcome the above-mentioned problems, and to provide a styrene-based flame retardant resin composition containing the same.

The styrenic resin may be one or more of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer and styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer.
