FIELD OF INVENTION This invention relates to novel compounds of the formula R0 P CH LHC wherein R is selected from the group consisting of phenyl, lower altenly, and halogen substituted and unsubstituted lower alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms, X is selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromide and lower alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms, m is an integer from l-4and n is an integer from O-5, provided that the sum of m and n is not greater than 6 and when m is l, X is greater than 0. The invention includes methods of applying the above novel compounds to normally flammable textiles, thermoplastic, thermosetting, and elastomeric resin compositions so as to render them flame retardant.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Many flame retarding agents and methods of application have been developed in attempts to obtain flame resistant textile materials and thermoplastic, thermosetting, and elastomeric resin compositions.

Flame retardant textiles have been produced by depositing metal oxides, within or on the textile fibers, by the successive precipitation of ferric oxides and a mixture of tungstic acid and stannic oxide or by successive deposition of antimony trioxide and titanium dioxide.

Such processes require plural treatment baths in which strongly acidic solutions are employed thus posing the problem of possible textile degradation. Furthermore, metal oxide coatings on textile materials create difficulties in subsequen dyeing processes which deleteriously affect the hand of the finished product. Another process involves the use of a single processing bath wherein a dispersion of a chlorinated hydrocarbon and finely divided antimony oxide is padded on the textile material. Near the textile combustion temperature antimony oxide will react with hydrogen chloride, generated by degradation of the chlorinated hydrocarbon, to form antimony oxychloride which acts to suppress flame. This combination of a chlorinated hydrocarbon and finely divided antimony oxide are not acceptable finishes for closely woven textiles as they deleteriously affect the hand of the finished product. A further process for imparting flame resistance to cellulosic materials is by the esterification of the cellulose with diammonium hydrogen orthophosphate. Textile products so treated however are subjected to metathesis reaction with cations during washing, and must be regenerated by reacting the wash product with an ammonium chloride solution.

The production of thermoplastic, thermosetting, and elastomeric resin compositions which are flame retardant is of considerable commercial importance. For example, such articles as castings, moldings, foamed or laminated scructures and the like are required, or are at least desired, to be resistant to fire and flame and to possess the ability to endure heat without deterioration. The use of various materials incorporated into thermoplastic, thermosetting and elastomeric resins so as to improve the flame retardancy thereof has been known. Many compounds have been commercially available for such use, among them being chlorostyrene copolymers, chlorinated paraffin wax in admixture with triphenyl styrene, chlorinated paraffins and aliphatic antimonical compounds, as well as antimony oxidechlorinated hydrocarbon mixtures. A problem associated with these compounds has been however, the fact that generally a large amount, i.e. upwards of 35% of additive, must be incorporated into the resin in order to make it sufficiently flame retardant. Such large amounts of addative may deliteriously affect the physical characteristics of the thermoplastic resin, as well as substantially complicating and increasing the cost of preparation thereof. A further problem is that these prior art additives tend to crystallize or oil out of the resin after a relatively short time of incorporation. The present invention relates to a group of compounds which may be added to thermoplastic resins in relatively small amounts and still produce satisfactory flame retardant compositions which will not crystallize nor oil out of the resin after incorporation therein.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is, therefore, a principal object of this invention to provide novel compounds of the formula:

o n (no P CHZHHC- wherein R is selected from the group consisting of phenyl, lower alkenyl and halogen substituted and unsubstituted lower alkyl of l-6 carbon atoms, X is selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine and lower alkyl of l-6 carbon atoms, m is an integer from I-4 and n is an integer from 0-5, provided that the sum of m and n is not greater than 6 and when m is 1, X is greater than 0.

It is also an object of this invention to provide flame retarding textile materials comprising normally flammable cellulosic, proteinaceous or analogous manmade materials. Another object is to provide a method for treating normally flammable cellulosic, proteinaceous or analogous manmade materials to render them flame retardant. Another object is to provide flame retarding thermoplstic, thermosetting or elastomeric resin compositions comprising normally flammable resin materials. A further object is to provide a process for treating normally flammable thermoplastic, thermosetting or elastomeric resin compositions to render them flame retardant. A particular object is to devise a composition comprising normally flammable cellulosic, proteinaceous or analogous man-made materials and an effective flame retardant amount of the compound represented by the formula wherein R, X, m and n are as above described.

A further particular object is to devise a composition comprising normally flammable thermoplastic, thermosetting or elastomeric polymers and an effective flame retarding amount of the before described novel compound.

These and other objects of the present invention will be obvious from the following description.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In accordance with this invention there are provided novel compounds, for imparting flame retardancy to textiles and resin materials, of the formula More specifically, the preferred compounds of the present invention include these compounds wherein R is lower alkyl, alkenyl chlorinated alkyl or phenyl, and X is chlorine, bromine or methyl.

Illustrative examples of compounds of the present invention include, for instance, compounds of the general formula such as Br BrO O D 0 O This synthesis of the compositions of the present ina suitable solvent, excess of the phosphite or neat. Typically, the reaction occurs at elevated temperatures and is continued for about 1 to about 12 hours. Temperatures are generally about C to about 160C. Preferably reaction is continued from about 3 to about 6 hours at a temperature of about 80C to about 120C. The solvent or other volatiles is thereafter stripped, or otherwise removed from the product. Suitable solvents include benzene, toluene, xylene, glymes, dimethylformamide, aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons. Typical N- hydroxymethyl aromatic amides operable as reactants herein include P. P.

The compounds of this invention have advantages over the flame retardant agents of the prior art in that they may be used on a variety of textile materials of different chemical composition, and

they may be applied by a variety of methods. They may be applied to materials in either the fiber or fabric form to give flame retarding materials with minimum detectable physical changes in the quality or hand of the textile material.

Cellulosic textile materials may be made flame retardant by way of a variety of methods. Products of this invention may be applied to cellulosic materials in several ways to give a durable flame retardant treatment. For example, the products of this invention may be reacted with formaldehyde to give N-hydroxymethyl derivatives which can react with cellulosic materials in a known manner. Alternatively aqueous mixtures of the products with formaldehyde, urea, trimethylol melamine or other known cellulose crosslinking agents may be applied to a cellulose substrated with the aid of an acidic catalyst by a pad dry process.

More preferably the N-hydroxymethyl derivative of the products of this invention prepared by the condensation of the products with formaldehyde, are mixed in an aqueous medium with trimethylol melamine and a Lewis acid catalyst such as NH Cl or Zn(NO .6H O. The cellulosic material is immersed in a aqueous solution of the methyl derivative, trimethylol melamine, and Zn(NO .6H O and squeezed on a two roll padder to -90% wet weight pick-up. The material is dried at 220-270F for l-3 minutes and cured at 300-370F for l-6 minutes in a circulating air oven. The samples are then washed in hot water and dried. The finished samples have a flame retardant add on of about 5 to about 40% and preferably about 10 to about 25% by weight.

The flame retardant agents of this invention may be applied to various textiles such as cellulosic materials, proteinaceous materials and blends of cellulosic or proteinaceous materials and analogous manmade fibers. By cellulosic materials, applicant intends to embrace cotton, ravon, paper, regenerated cellulose and cellulose derivatives which retain a cellulose backbone of at least one hydroxy substituent per repeating glucose unit. By proteinaceous material applicant intends to embrace those textile materials comprising the functional groups of proteins such as the various animal wools, hairs and furs.

The flame retardant compounds or additives of the invention may be incorporated into thermoplastic, thermosetting or elastomeric resin compositions by any known method. That is to say, the flame retardant additive may be added to the resin by milling the resin and the additive on, for example, a two-roll mill, or in a Banbury mixer etc., or it may be added by molding or extruding the additive and resin simultaneously, or by merely blending it with the resin in powder form and thereafter forming the desired article. Additionally, the flame-retardant may be added during the resin manufacture, i.e., during the polymerization procedure by which the resin is made, provided the catalysts etc. and

other ingredients of the polymerization system are inert v Suitable monomers are ethylene, propylene, butene, pentene, hexene, heptene, octene, 2-methylpropene-l, 3-methylbutenel 4-methylpentenel 4-methylhexenel ,S-methylhexene-l bicyclo-(2.2.1 )-2- heptene, butadiene, pentadiene, hexadiene, isoprene, 2,3-dimethylbutadiene-l ,3, Z-methylpentadiene-l ,3, 4-vinylcyclohexene, vinylcyclohexene, cyclopentadiene, styrene and methylstyrene, and the like.

ASTM Test D2863-70, used in accordance with the following examples, generally provides for the comparison of relative flammability of self-supporting plastics by measuring the minimum concentration of oxygen in a slowly rising mixture of oxygen and nitrogen that will support combustion. The procedure encompasses supporting cylindrical test specimens -150 mm X 8.0 mm vertically in a glass tube fitted with controlled upward oxygen-nitrogen gas flow. The top of the specimen is ignited and oxygen flow is adjusted until it reaches that minimum rate at which the specimen is extinguished before burning 3 minutes or 50 mm whichever happens first. The oxygen index(n) is then calculated as follows:

wherein O is the volumetric flow of oxygen, at the minimal rate and N is the corresponding volumetric flow rate of nitrogen.

A modification of ASTM Test D635-68 used in accordance with the following'examples, generally provides for the comparison of burning rates, selfextinguishment and non-burning characteristics of plastics in the form of sheets, bars, plates or panels. The

procedure encompasses preparing plastic samples of 1 -200 mm X 8 mm with and without the subject flame additive. Each sample is marked at points 1 inch and 4 inches from its end and held, marked end in the flame, at a 45 angle in a controlled burner flame (1 inch flame length) for two 30 second attempts. The movement of the flame up the length of the sample through the two points is measured for rate of burning. non-burning or self-extinguishing characteristics. A sample is rated SE(self-extinguishing) if the flame burns through the first point but extinguishes before reaching the second point. A sample is rated NB(nonburning) if, upon ignition it does not burn to the first point.

AATCC test method 34-1969, The Vertical Char Test, used in accordance with the following examples, generally provides for the comparison of relative flammability of 2% inch X 10 inch fabric test specimens when exposed to a controlled burner flame, under controlled conditions, for periods of 12.0 and 3.0 seconds. Charred specimens are thereafter subjected to control tearing tests, using tabulated weights, to determine the average tear length as representing the char length of the fabric. In addition, samples which are wholly consumed by the flame are rated (B) and samples which do not burn are rated (NB). For comparison purposes, it should be noted that untreated samples of the fabrics used in the examples of this case would be consumed for this test.

EXAMPLE XI Forty parts of N-dimethylphosphenomethyl-Z,4- dichlorobenzamide was mixed with parts of polypropylene and dry blended for about five minutes. This mixture was then heated to a melt and mixed well in the molten state for about 15 minutes. The mixture was then allowed to cool to room temperature and the plastic composition was cut into small pieces. These pieces were placed slowly into a glass tube (9 mm) immersed in a hot metal bath, the temperature of the bath being maintained above the melt temperature of the plastic composition. Pieces of the composition were added until the melt had a depth of approximately 200 mm. A metal rod was then placed in the tube with a weight attached and the tube cooled to'solidify the composition.
