Definitions
- the flammability characteristics of plastic materials are quantifiable according to the method specified by Underwriter Laboratories standard UL 94.
- the UL 94 ratings are V-O, V-I, and V-2 (a detailed description of the relevant flammability tests is given hereinafter) .
- a material assigned with the V-O rating is considered to be the less flammable. For certain applications the lower V-2 rating is acceptable, whereas for other applications the more strict V-I and V-O ratings are needed.
- Antimony trioxide is known to synergistically cooperate with brominated flame retardants in various polymeric formulations for attaining the desired UL 94 V-I or V-O ratings.
- HIPS high impact polystyrene
- ABS acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymers
- antimony trioxide in order to effectively support the brominated flame retardant used, antimony trioxide must generally be present in a weight concentration within the range of about 2 to 6% relative to the total weight of the polymeric formulation.
- HIPS high impact polystyrene
- ABS acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymers
- brominated flame retardants recommended for use in styrene copolymers are decabromodiphenyl oxide, brominated epoxy and tribromophenol end-capped brominated epoxy. These flame retarding agents are added to HIPS or ABS formulations in combination with an appreciable amount of antimony trioxide.
- Tris (2, 4, ⁇ -tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine is a brominated flame retardant with a bromine content of 67 wt%, and is represented by the following formula:
- the preparation of tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine is generally based on the reaction of cyanuric chloride with 2, 4, 6-tribromophenolate under various conditions well known in the art (see, for example, US 5,907,040, 5,965,731 and 6,075,142).
- the flame retardant is also commercially available from ICL-IP under the name FR-245.
- the chemical name and FR-245 are interchangeably used herein.
- Tris (2, 4 , ⁇ -tribromophenoxy) -s- triazine is for retarding the flammability of HIPS and ABS and their alloys. It is worth noting that the melting point of Tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine is 230 0 C, which is significantly lower than the melting points of two other brominated flame retardants that are widely used in HIPS and ABS applications: decabromodiphenyl oxide and decabromodiphenyl ethane, which melt at 305°C and 350°C, respectively.
- Reference Example 12 of WO 2005/120165 illustrates that an attempt to reduce the concentration of antimony trioxide to 1 wt% did not result in HIPS formulation with an acceptable degree of flame retardancy. All percentages expressed herein are by weight relative to the total weight of the flame retarded composition, unless otherwise indicated.
- compositions of styrene-containing polymers can be flame retarded with tris (2,4,6- tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine to pass the stringent UL 94 V-I or V-O ratings, even when the antimony trioxide synergist is present in said compositions at a concentration as low as 0.5-1.7 wt%, and more preferably between 0.75 and 1.5 wt% and even more preferably between 1.0 and 1.5 wt%.
- the amount of tris (2, 4, 6- tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine within the composition is adjusted such that the bromine content of the styrene- containing polymer composition is within an acceptable range of 7 to 24 wt%, and preferably between 8 and 18 wt%, and more preferably between 11 and 18 wt% and even more preferably between 11 to 14.5 wt%, whereby the desired UL 94 V-I or V-O ratings are met.
- bromine FR name
- This amount serves as a measure for comparing between the efficacy of various flame retardant at a given concentration of antimony trioxide, indicating how much bromine is needed in order to allow the polymeric composition to pass the UL 94 V-I or V-O tests in the presence of said concentration of antimony trioxide (this concentration is abbreviated [Sb 2 ⁇ 3 ] .
- the ratio Bromine (FR - 245) : [Sb 2 O 3 ] that is required in order to allow the styrene-containing polymer compositions to meet the UL 94 V-I and V-O ratings is less than the corresponding ratios Bromine (FR-3.210) : [Sb2 ⁇ 3 ] and Bromine ⁇ s - 8 oio) : [Sb 2 ⁇ 3 ] .
- HIPS composition which are flame retarded by either decabromodiphenyl oxide or decabromodiphenyl ethane
- a reduction at the content of the antimony trioxide from 1.5 to 1.0 wt% necessitates an appreciable increase of the amount of the bromine provided by the flame retardant in order to maintain the UL 94 V-I or V-O rating.
- FR-245 exhibits different dependency on the concentration of antimony trioxide in the range between 0.5 and 1.5 wt% . Reducing the concentration of the antimony trioxide (from 1.5 wt% —» 1.0 wt%—> 0.5 wt%) necessitates, of course, a corresponding increase in the amount of bromine to be delivered by FR-245 for securing UL 94 ratings for the HIPS composition. However, the rate of increase of the amount bromine ( FR 24 5) is fairly moderate, as opposed to the sharp increase observed for other commonly used brominated flame retardants as described above.
- the required amount of bromine ( FR 245) may be adjusted according to a linear function with a slope of -4, which value is indicative of a reasonable rate of change.
- the present invention relates to a flame-retarded styrene-containing polymer composition, which composition comprises a styrene-containing polymer, 0.5-1.7 wt% antimony trioxide, tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine and an anti-dripping agent, such that the bromine content of the composition provided by said tris (2,4,6- tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine (designated Bromine (FR-24S) ) is in the range between 8 and 18 wt%, and when the styrene- containing polymer includes high impact polystyrene (HIPS) , then said Bromine ( FR - 24S ) is related to the weight concentration of said antimony trioxide (designated [Sb 2 O 3 ] ) by the following inequalities:
- compositions of the invention having the characteristics set forth above meet at least the UL 94 V-I rating. More preferred are compositions which contain between 0.8 and 1.5 wt% antimony trioxide, and more specifically, between 1.0 and 1.5 wt% antimony trioxide.
- the composition that is flame-retarded according to the present invention preferably comprises one or more styrene- containing polymers at a concentration of not less than 30 wt%, more preferably not less than 40 wt%, and even more preferably above 50% wt, e.g., between 50-87%.
- the composition comprises between 70 to 87 wt% styrene-containing polymers.
- the latter term refers to polymers, and specifically copolymers (including terpolymers), which contain (optionally substituted) styrenic structural unit, however combined with one or more other structural units.
- HIPS the rubber-modified copolymers of styrenic monomers, obtainable, for example, by mixing an elastomer (butadiene) with the (optionally substituted) styrenic monomer (s) prior to polymerization.
- Characteristics and compositions of HIPS are described, for .example, in "Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering", Volume 16, pages 88 - 96 (1985) .
- the HIPS compositions provided by the invention generally comprise between 40% and 85%, more preferably between 50 and 85% HIPS resins having a melt flow index (MFI) between 1 and 50 g/10min (ISO 1133; 200°C/5kg) .
- MFI melt flow index
- ABS which term refers in the context of the present invention to copolymers and terpolymers that include the structural units corresponding to (optionally substituted) styrene, acrylonitrile and butadiene, regardless of the composition and method of production of said polymers. Characteristics and compositions of ABS are described, for example, in Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, Volume 16, pages 72 - 74 (1985) . ABS compositions of the invention may contain between 40 and 85 wt%, more specifically between 50 and 83% ABS with MFI between 1 and 50 g/10min (measured according to ISO 1133 at 220°C/10 kg) .
- SAN the copolymer of acrylonitrile and styrene
- SMA the copolymer of styrene with maleic anhydride. Characteristics of SAN and SMA are described in "Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering", Volume 16, pages 72 - 73 (1985) .
- SAN compositions of the invention preferably comprise between 40 and 85% SAN, and SMA compositions of the invention preferably contain between 40 and 85% SMA.
- the flame-retarded composition of the invention may contain an alloy of a styrene-containing polymer, namely, a blend of styrene-containing polymer as set forth above with a second polymer or copolymer (such blends are obtained by extruding pellets of the styrene-containing polymer and pellets of the second polymer in desired proportions) .
- a styrene-containing polymer namely, a blend of styrene-containing polymer as set forth above with a second polymer or copolymer (such blends are obtained by extruding pellets of the styrene-containing polymer and pellets of the second polymer in desired proportions) .
- Preferred examples include a blend of HIPS and polyphenylene oxide and a blend of ABS with polycarbonate.
- the composition of the invention may contain the styrene-containing polymer (ABS) at a concentration in the range between 5 and 85%.
- HIPS compositions meeting the UL 94 V-I rating and having antimony trioxide confined within the range between 1.0 and 1.5wt% are of particular interest.
- the present invention provides such compositions, in which the amount of tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine is adjusted such that the bromine content of the composition is preferably less than 13 wt%, more preferably less than 12 wt%, and especially between 9 and 11 wt%, wherein said bromine content follows the first inequality presented above: (i) Bromine ( FR -2 45 ) ⁇ -4 X [Sb 2 O 3 ] + 15, for 1.0 ⁇ [Sb 2 O 3 ] ⁇ 1. 5
- the amount of tris-(2,4,6- tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine is adjusted such that the bromine content of the composition provided by said flame retardant is preferably in the range between 15 and 9 wt%, more preferably between 14 and 11 wt% and even more preferably between 13 and llwt%.
- the amount of tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine is adjusted taking into account the ratio between the ABS and the polycarbonate.
- the invention also provides compositions which pass the UL 94 V-O test. It has been found that the amount of Bromine (FR-2 45 ) required for securing UL 94 V-O rating for HIPS compositions which contain only 0.5 and 1.7 wt% antimony trioxide is surprisingly low : between 11 and 17 wt% . For 0.5-1.5 wt% antimony trioxide, the amount of Bromine ( FR -24 5 ) in the HIPS composition is within the range between 13 and 17 wt% . The amount of Bromine ( FR - 24S ) suitable for obtaining UL 94 rated compositions may be matched nicely to the antimony trioxide content of the HIPS composition over the entire Sb 2 O 3 concentration range according to the following inequality:
- compositions meeting UL 94 V-O rating are contemplated, then said compositions may be made by combining 0.5-1.5 wt% antimony trioxide with tris (2,4,6- tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine in an amount sufficient for providing Bromine ( FR - 2 4S) between 18 and 10 wt%, and preferably between 16 and 11 wt%.
- compositions according to the present invention also include one or more anti-dripping agents such as polytetrafluoroethylene (abbreviated PTFE) in a preferred amount between 0.025 and 0.4 wt%, more preferably between 0.025 and 0.3 wt%, and even more preferably between 0.05 and 0.2 wt%.
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- composition of this invention may further contain conventional ingredients, such as impact modifiers, pigments, UV stabilizers, heat stabilizers, fillers, lubricants and antioxidants (e.g., of hindered phenol type) .
- concentration of each of the additives listed above is typically in the range between 0.025 and 15 wt%.
- compositions of the invention may be prepared as follows.
- the various ingredients of the composition are blended together according to their respective amounts.
- the ingredients are first dry blended using suitable mixing machines, such as Henschel mixer, or may be dosed directly to the extruder.
- the powder mixture may then be processed and compounded to form homogeneous pellets, for example, by using a twin-screw extruder.
- the pellets obtained are dried, and are suitable for feed to an article shaping process such as injection or extrusion molding.
- an article shaping process such as injection or extrusion molding.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to the incorporation of the flame retardant tris (2, 4, ⁇ -tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine into the formulation via a masterbatch (which may optionally contain the antimony trioxide) . It has been found that tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine can also be incorporated in a "masterbatch" form, which is a composition comprising a suitable polymer carrier, and a relatively high proportion of the tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine.
- the carrier polymer is intended to facilitate mixing of the masterbatch and improve the compatibility of the masterbatch and the blend polymer (the blend polymer is the polymer combined with the masterbatch; in the present case, the blend polymer is a styrene-containing polymer, such as HIPS or ABS) .
- Suitable carrier polymers are similar or identical with the blend polymer. Otherwise a carrier which is compatible with the blend polymer is used.
- the invention therefore relates to a process for preparing a composition as set forth above, which process comprises providing a masterbatch containing tris (2,4,6- tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine and optionally antimony trioxide, and processing said masterbatch with the styrene-containing polymer, the anti-dripping agent and also antimony trioxide if the latter is not present in said masterbatch, such that the concentration of the antimony trioxide within the resultant composition is in the range between 0.5 and 1.7 wt%.
- the invention also provides a masterbatch composition, in which tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine and antimony trioxide are combined together within a carrier polymer, with their respective amounts being appropriately proportioned in order to afford the desired concentrations ranges in the final composition. More specifically, the masterbatch is suitable for the preparation of formulations of styrene- containing polymers having antimony trioxide content in the range between 0.5 and 1.7 wt% . Accordingly, the present invention also relates to a masterbatch composition comprising:
- (iii) a polymer carrier characterized in that the ratio between the total bromine content of said masterbatch and antimony trioxide is not less than 5, and preferably not less than 7, and more specifically between 7 and 40.
- a suitable polymer carrier may be styrene or acrylate containing homo or copolymer (for example, polystyrene) .
- the concentration of the flame retardant in the masterbatch may be between 50 and 90 wt%, and the concentration of the carrier is between 5 and 42 wt% .
- the concentration of the antimony trioxide in the masterbatch is such that upon blending the masterbatch with the plastic matrix, to form the styrene-containing polymeric composition of the invention, then the concentration of the antimony trioxide in the final composition is adjusted within the limits set forth above.
- the concentration of the antimony trioxide in the masterbatch of the invention is therefore preferably between 1 and 7 wt%, more preferably between 2 and 6 wt%.
- the masterbatch may optionally contain approximately 0.2 to 4% PTFE.
- the masterbatch may be prepared by methods known in the art, such as those described in EP 527493.
- the carrier, tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine and antimony trioxide (and optional additives) are processed (i.e., in an extruder) to form a homogeneous blend. Processing temperatures may be similar to those indicated for the fully formulated composition, as detailed in the experimental section below.
- the masterbatch composition of the invention may be provided in the form of essentially homogeneous pellets.
- the masterbatch obtained is combined with suitable amounts of the blend polymer (HIPS, ABS) as defined above and remaining components (the masterbatch is preferably added to the polymer blend at a concentration of about 10 to 50 wt%) .
- the resulting blend is extruded, pelletized and dried, to form the desired UL 94 V-I or V-O styrene-containing polymeric compositions of the invention, which can be shaped (e.g., molded) as described above.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for reducing, and even completely preventing, the dripping of styrene-containing polymer formulation at the time of combustion.
- Antimony trioxide due to its very high melting point at 656 0 C, is known to have a favorable effect in reducing the dripping of plastic materials at the time of combustion.
- the melting point of tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine is significantly lower than the melting points of other useful brominated flame retardants (decabromodiphenyl ethane or decabromodiphenyl oxide) .
- styrene-containing polymer formulations which comprise tris (2, 4, ⁇ -tribromophenoxy) -s- triazine in combination with less than 2 wt%, and preferably- less than 1.7 wt% (between 0.5 and 1.5 wt%) antimony trioxide, do not substantially drip at the time of combustion.
- the present invention further provides a method for reducing, and even completely preventing, the dripping of styrene-containing polymer formulation at the time of combustion, wherein said formulation contains less than 2 wt%, and preferably less than 1.7 wt% antimony trioxide, which method comprises adding an effective flame retarding amount of tris (2,4,6- tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine into said formulation together with at least one anti-dripping agent (e.g., PTFE) .
- PTFE anti-dripping agent
- compositions provided by the present invention comprise tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine as the sole brominated flame retardant. More specifically, when the concentration of antimony trioxide in the composition ranges between 1.0 to 1.5 wt%, then tris (2, 4, ⁇ -tribromophenoxy) -s- triazine may be incorporated as the sole brominated flame retardant within the composition to achieve UL 94 V-I or V-O ratings, with the ratio Bromine ( FR - 245 ) : [Sb 2 Oa] being adjusted within the range of 15:1 to 6:1, respectively (the ratio is inversely related to the concentration of the synergist) .
- compositions of the present invention may contain, in addition to tris (2,4,6- tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine, other flame retarding agents, including brominated flame retarding agents.
- formulations of styrene-containing polymers which are flame retarded with a brominated flame retardant in combination with antimony trioxide may benefit (at least additively and even synergistically) from the incorporation of tris (2,4, 6- tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine within the formulation, since the amount of antimony trioxide may be adjusted in such compositions to a level which has been considered impractical.
- the present invention therefore provides a flame-retarded styrene-containing polymer composition, which composition comprises a styrene-containing polymer, 0.5-1.7 wt% of antimony trioxide (preferably 0.5-1.5%, more preferably 1.0-1.5% antimony trioxide), an anti-dripping agent, tris (2 , 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine and at least one additional brominated flame retarding agent, wherein the total bromine content of the composition is in the range between 11 and 18 wt%, with said tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) - s-triazine preferably providing between, 40-90 wt% of said total .bromine content.
- antimony trioxide preferably 0.5-1.5%, more preferably 1.0-1.5% antimony trioxide
- an anti-dripping agent preferably 0.5-1.5%, more preferably 1.0-1.5% antimony trioxide
- tris (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) -s-triazine may be coupled with a brominated flame-retarding agent having the formula II:
- decabromodiphenyl oxide and decabromodiphenyl ethane are recommended for use in HIPS formulation.
- their activity as fire retarding agents for HIPS needs to be supported by the presence of not less than 2% by weight of antimony trioxide, in order to allow the HIPS composition to meet either UL 94 V-I or V-O rating.
