Definitions
- the present invention is directed to stabilized flame retardant compositions for polymers, preferably polyolefins, and methods of flame retarding polymers, particularly aliphatic polyolefins, by adding thereto a combination of flame retardant compounds (a) and (b) wherein (a) is an aromatic oligomeric compound, preferably having a weight average molecular weight of at least 2,000 and including aromatic bromine, (b) is a monomeric or dimeric aromatic compound, preferably having a molecular weight less than 2,000 and including aliphatic bromine, wherein the weight ratio of (a):(b) is in the range of about 1 : 10 to 10: 1, preferably at least 1 : 1, more preferably at least 1.1 : 1, most preferably at least 1.3: 1.
- the composition also contains (c) an antioxidant process stabilizer; and (d) a UV degradation retardant selected from the group consisting of an ultraviolet (UV) stabilizer; a UV absorber; a UV screener; and a combination of any two or more of said UV degradation retarders.
- UV ultraviolet
- This combination of flame retardants, antioxidant process stabilizer and UV degradation retardant(s) shows low surface migration (bloom) characteristics in polymers, particularly aliphatic (non-aromatic) polyolefins; and good retention of physical properties and/or color in polyolefin fibers and films, particularly for polyethylene, polypropylene and copolymers thereof.
- halogen-containing compounds together with antimony oxide, are frequently utilized with polymers, to impart flame retardant properties to the polymers.
- Commercially available halogenated flame- retardants that have a high melting point tend to contain large amounts of aromatic halogens or are polymeric. These molecules tend to be inefficient flame retardants for polyolefins.
- Lower molecular weight halogen compounds that are efficient flame retardants and that contain aliphatic bromine tend to undergo surface migration in polyolefins. This leads to marring of the surface appearance of the polyolefin.
- antioxidant process stabilizers during the manufacture of polyolefins to prevent oxidation of olefins during the polymerization reaction
- antioxidants to a polyolefin during processing, e.g., during fiber formation, to prevent oxidation of the polyolefin.
- halogenated flame retardants also are generally reactive with UV light in polyolefins, e.g. , polypropylene, causing degradation of the polyolefin, as demonstrated by decreasing tensile strength of the polyolefin-containing polymer composition.
- the addition of one or more UV degradation retardants decreases the degradation rate.
- GPP-39 ® a trademark of Great Lakes Chemical Corporation, is a graft copolymer of polypropylene with brominated polystyrene. It was developed as a flame retardant for polypropylene fiber. Attempts to UV stabilize the GPP-39 in polypropylene gave results similar to unstabilized polypropylene - the polypropylene degradation rate was still too high for use of the GPP-39 flame retardant in polypropylene fiber applications.
- This invention accordingly, is directed to improvements in stabilized flame retarded polymer compositions, and in particular polyolefin compositions, more particularly, toward flame retarded and UV stabilized polyolefin fiber compositions, where there is a tendency for the flame retardant to bloom and a great tendency to degrade under exposure to UV light, and is directed towards inhibiting this bloom and degradation.
- U.S. Patent No. 3,730,929 teaches that the use of a fatty acid or a metal salt of a fatty acid minimizes the tendency toward exudation. Dispersants have been disclosed to reduce blooming in U.S. Patent No. 4,006,118.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,699,734 discloses that an epoxy resin, e.g. , Epon 1031, an epoxy having an epoxy equivalent of about 220, an elastomeric resin, e.g., a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer, and a nucleating agent, such as a fire-dried fumed silica gel, are needed to minimize surface migration of the flame retardant in polypropylene. When any one or more of the ingredients were omitted, then the surface appearance was poor to fair after aging.

- Hei 5-320439 discloses that tetrabromobisphenol S bis(2,3- dibromopropyl) ether in combination with brominated bisphenol A carbonate oligomers, or with brominated bisphenol ethyl ether oligomers, gave less surface exudation than tetrabromobisphenol S bis(2,3-dibromopropyl) ether used alone in polypropylene.
- the tetrabromobisphenol S bis(2,3- dibromopropyl) ether monomer to oligomer weight ratio is 99: 1 to 1:1, with the range of 19: 1 to 3:2 being preferred.
- Japanese Patent Application Kokai Sho 54-106557 discloses the use of a combination of tetrabromobisphenol A bis(2,3-dibromopropyl) ether and brominated bisphenol A carbonate oligomers as a low bloom, efficient flame retardant combination for polypropylene.
