Description

NOVEL PHOSPHONATE BASED COMPOUND AND FLAME RETARDANT STYRENIC RESIN COMPOSITION INCLUDING THE SAME
The present invention relates to novel phosphonate based compound and a flame retardant styrenic resin composition including the same.
Styrenic resins which are used for exterior materials of electronic devices can also be used in a variety of engineering applications because of their excellent impact resistance, dimensional stability and high heat resistance. However, styrenic resins can burn easily and do not have fire resistance. Accordingly countries such as the United States, Japan and many European countries have passed laws requiring polymer resins to satisfy flame resistance standards.
A widely used and known method for imparting good flame retardancy to styrenic resin includes adding a halogen-containing compound as a flame retardant to a rubber-modified styrenic resin and adding an antimony-containing compound as a flame retardant aid. Examples of halogen-containing compounds used to impart flame retardancy include polybromodiphenyl ether, tetrabromobisphenol-A, epoxy compounds substituted with bromine, chlorinated polyethylene, and the like. Antimony trioxide or antimony pentaoxide is commonly used as an antimony-containing compound.
When a halogen- and antimony-containing compound is used to improve flame retardancy of resins, a desired degree of flame retardancy can readily be imparted to the resulting products without significantly degrading the physical properties thereof. Therefore, the halogen- and antimony-containing compounds are widely used as the primary flame retardant for housing materials for electrical appliances and office equipment formed of ABS resins, PS resins, PBT resins, PET resins or epoxy resins. However, hydrogen halide gases released by halogen-containing compounds during processing can have fatal effects on the human body and have high environmental persistence because these compounds are not naturally degradable. Also these compounds are not soluble in water, and thus can be highly bioaccumulated. Particularly, polybromodiphenyl ether, which is widely used as a halogen-containing flame retardant, may produce toxic gases such as dioxin or furan during combustion, and is consequently harmful to humans and the environment. Accordingly, there is a need to develop flame retardancy methods that do not employ halogen-containing compounds.
The present invention provides a novel phosphonate based compound which can be added to a resin composition to provide flame resistance.
The present invention further provides a flame resistant thermoplastic resin composition including a novel phosphonate based compound which can have fire stability.
The present invention further provides an environmentally-friendly thermoplastic resin composition which includes a halogen-free flame retardant and which can have excellent flame resistance as compared to a composition including a phosphate ester flame retardant.
Other aspects and advantages of this invention will be apparent from the ensuing disclosure and appended claims.

The present invention now will be described more fully hereinafter in the following detailed description of the invention, in which some, but not all embodiments of the invention are described. Indeed, this invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements.

wherein in the above Scheme 1, R4 is C1 to C4 alkyl, and R1, R2 and R3 is the same as described above.
The compound represented by the Chemical Formula 1 according to the present invention can be prepared by preparing an intermediate which is prepared by a dechlorination reaction of phosphorus trichloride, aryl-alcohol and C1-C4 alkanol, such as ethanol, and reacting the intermediate and a benzylbromide or a bromo acetonitrile or a bromo C1-C4 alkane.

If the amount of the phosphonate based compound (B) represented by the Chemical Formula 1 is less than about 0.5 parts by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin (A), flame resistance of the thermoplastic resin composition may be reduced. If the amount of the phosphonate based compound (B) represented by the Chemical Formula 1 is more than 30 parts by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin (A), physical properties of the resin may be reduced.
