Definitions
- Polymer composition comprising an alloy of a polycarbonate and polyester such as polyalkylene terephthalate have been rendered flame resistant without any chlorine and bromine atoms, using phosphorus-based flame resistant compounds.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,030,675 discloses that a flame resistant polymer composition containing no chlorine or bromine elements can be obtained by incorporating an emulsion- ABS graft copolymer, a monophosphate flame retardant, and a fluorinated polyolefin into an alloy of polycarbonate and polyalkylene terephthalate.
- This composition is distinguished by improved weld line strength for molding, but the flame retardant additives tend to bleed out, which can lead to considerable disruption during the processing operations.
- the bleeding of the flame retardants in such compositions can be solved by the use of oligomeric organophosphorus flame retardants, as proposed in U.S. Patent No. 7,067,567.
- polyester-polycarbonate compositions described in the above-noted patents contain, apart from an organophosphorus flame retardant, fluorinated polyolefin copolymer as an anti-dripping agent and an impact modifier such as a rubber-based graft copolymer or a polyolefin-based epoxy copolymer. While exhibiting good flame resistance, such compositions can encounter the problem that some other important properties such as notched impact resistance or heat resistance are much lower than the compositions without the organic phosphate. Moreover, the impact modifiers thus used are easily combustible materials, requiring relatively higher amounts of the organic phosphate to be added to keep flame resistance of the material at the acceptable levels.
- Diorganosiloxane-polycarbonate block copolymers are well known in the prior art, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 3821325, 3419635, 3419634, and 3832419.
- SABIC IP for example has commercially available grades that are sold under the LEXAN EXL trade name.
- the siloxane domains are known to confer higher impact on the polycarbonate compositions.
- composition with good flame resistance properties that exhibits at least two of improved impact resistance, heat resistance, and chemical resistance, especially when such
- compositions contain higher polyester content than that in the compositions described in the prior art.
- thermoplastic composition comprises, based on the total weight of the composition:
- (f) optionally, from 0.25 to 10 wt.% of an impact modifier selected from the group consisting of elastomer-based graft copolymers and elastomer-based block copolymers; and
- thermoplastic composition comprises, based on the total weight of the composition:
- (f) optionally, from 0.25 to 10 wt.% of an impact modifier selected from the group consisting of elastomer-based graft copolymers and elastomer-based graft copolymers,
- composition has:
- a bromine- and/or chlorine-containing compound less than 1000 ppm of a bromine- and/or chlorine-containing compound, a Vicat softening temperature of greater than 100°C, measured in accordance with ASTM 1525 at 50 Newtons and a heating rate of 120°C/hour,
- an article comprises one of the above-described compositions.
- the invention is based on the discovery that a high level of flame resistance can be imparted to a polyester-polycarbonate molding compositions, specifically a VO-rating in the Underwriters' Laboratory Flammability Test, and which can be carefully balanced in terms of heat mechanical properties, impact resistance, and chemical resistance using little or no chlorinated or brominated flame retardant additives. Such a balance of properties can be obtained using a higher polyester content than in comparative compositions.
- An especially advantageous embodiment of this invention is when a polyester component is obtained largely from post-consumer recycled polyester polymer.
- the invention is based on the discovery that when an polydiorganosiloxane-polycarbonate block copolymer is used as impact modifier alone or in combination with a small amount of other impact modifiers for a flame retardant polymer composition comprising a thermoplastic polyester, a polycarbonate, an organic
- organophosphorus flame retardant specifically an oligomeric organophosphorus flame retardant, and a fluorinated polyolefin copolymer

- composition has:
- compositions can be shaped into an article by various techniques known in the art such as injection molding, extrusion, injection blow molding, gas assist molding.
- the compositions are thus useful in the manufacture of electrical or electronic parts.
- our invention now provides a polyester-polycarbonate composition with good flame resistance properties that exhibits at least two of improved impact resistance, heat resistance, and chemical resistance, even when such compositions contain higher polyester content than that in the compositions described in the prior art.
- Our invention also provides a polymer composition that can use a post- consumer recycled polyester polymer as its polyester component, such that the composition can at least substantially maintain important properties such as flame resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance, as well as other physical properties.
- EXL-PC has the formula:
- BPA-DP has the formula:
- n is equal to 1 to about 5.
- composition Processing All components (PC, PBT, EXL-PC, TSAN, MZP, phosphate stabilizer HP-10, and UV stabilizer were dry-blended. The resulting blend was fed to a hopper of 37 mm Toshiba TEM-37BS Twin Screw Extruder with a vacuum vented mixing screw, and set at a cylinder temperature of 255°C and 150 to 300 rpm screw speed.
- the extruder has 8 independent feeders for different raw materials and can be operated at a maximum rate of 200 lbs/hr.
- the organic phosphorus flame retardant (BPA-DP) was added to the middle part of the extruder from a liquid feed pump thereof.
- the composition was melt-kneaded and extruded.
- the extrudate was cooled through a water bath prior to pelletizing.
- Sample preparation and testing After drying the obtained pellets at 80°C for 6 hours, bar specimens measuring 127 mm x 12 mm x 1.6 mm and other specimens in accordance with ASTM standards were prepared from the pellets using a 150 T injection molding machine at a melt temperature 250°C and a mold temperature of 90°C. The samples were tested for various properties using the standards shown in Table 2.
- compositions having the formulations (wt.%) shown in Table 3 were prepared as described above, except that the compositions containing PET were processed 20°C higher than the compositions containing PBT, including both extruding and molding operations for the preparation of the test specimens.

- Examples E4-E7 further show that use of an organopolysiloxane- polycarbonate block copolymer in combination with a standard impact modifier also results in an excellent balance of impact resistance, flame resistance, and heat resistance.
- use of a post-consumer recycled PET (E8-E9) or PBT derived from PET (E10-E11) resulted in no change in flame resistance, almost no change in impact strength, and only a small change in heat resistance.
