An admixture of FP2100J and BPADP/RDP is fed into the mixing zone within 2 minutes. Compounding continues for another 6 minutes. The obtained polymer compositions are cut into small pieces for further compounding.
- TPU is firstly fed into the Haake Mixer for plasticization, then an admixture of FP2100J and BPADP/RDP is fed into the mixing zone for compounding which continues for an additional 6 minutes .

- Heat deformation testing is conducted according to UL 1581-2001. For each formulation two parallel sample plaques are placed into an oven and preheated at 150 °C for one hour. The pre -heated samples are pressed with the same loading at 150 °C for one hour. Afterwards the pressed samples, without removal of weights, are placed in an ASTM room with setting temperature at 23 °C for additional one hour. The change of the thickness of the sample plaques are recorded and heat deformation ratio is calculated according to
- Tensile tests are conducted on an INSTRON 5565 tensile tester. Plaques are cut into bell-shape specimens using a die cutter. Tensile tests are carried out according to ASTM D638 at room temperature. The speed is 50 mm/min.
- Mimic VW-1 FR test is conducted in an UL94 chamber. Test specimens are limited to the dimension of 200*2.7* 1.9 mm. The specimens are hung on a clamp with longitudinal axis vertical by applying 50 g loading on the distal end. One paper flag (2 * 0.5 cm) is applied on the top of the wire. The distance of flame bottom (highest point of the burner oracle) to the bottom of flag is 18 cm. Flame is applied for 45 continuous seconds. After flame time (AFT), uncharred wire length (UCL), and uncharred flag area percentage (flag uncharred) is recorded during and after combustion. Four or five specimens are tested for each sample. Any of the following constitutes "not pass”: (1) cotton under the specimen is ignited, (2) the flag is burned out, and (3) dripping with flame. The results are reported in the following Table.
- inventive examples displayed overall good balance between tensile elongation and flame retardance performance which could not be achieved by the comparative formulations using either TPU as the matrix, or ATH as the primary flame retardant.
- inventive compositions also displayed superior heat deformation performance at 150°C regarding the required deformation ratio less than 50%.
- Comparative Example 1 illustrates the using of TPU as the polymer matrix and FP21 OOJ/BPADP/epoxidized novolac as the flame retardant (FR) package.
- the formulated composition expresses good heat deformation performance at 150 °C and tensile properties; however, it cannot pass the VW- 1 burning test.
- Comparative Example 2 illustrates the using of TPU/OBC blend as the polymer matrix and FP21 OOJ/BPADP/epoxidized novolac as the FR package.
- the formulated composition expresses good heat deformation performance at 150 °C and passes the VW-1 burning test; however, it exhibits a significantly lower tensile elongation than the inventive formulations.
- Comparative Example 3 illustrates the using of TPU/MAH-g- D9817/OBC as the polymer matrix, and ATH/BPADP/epoxidized novolac as FR package.
- the formulated composition expresses superior heat deformation performance at 150 °C and tensile properties; however, it fails to pass the VW-1 burning test.
- inventive FR compositions with OBC in the formulations shows even better flexibility as compared to only formulations with only TPU as the polymer matrix. Moreover, tensile properties may be further improved by the use of a twin-screw compounding or injection molding process in place of compounding with a Haake Mixer.
