Definitions
- the present invention relates to a composition comprising monoethylene glycol, monoammonium phosphate, water and optionally hydrogen borate for use as a fire retardant.
- the present invention also relates to a method of preparing said composition and a method of using said composition as a fire retardant.
- the present invention further relates to a method of imparting fire resistance to a substrate by applying said composition and to a fire resistant substrate.
- US4514327 discloses a fire retardant composition for wood and fabric products, comprising ammonium sulfate, borax, boric acid, monoammonium phosphate and water.
- EP0146122 discloses a fire retardant composition for cellulosic substrates, comprising boric acid, an alkali metal borate, ammonium phosphate and water.
- US5405555 discloses a fire retardant composition for cellulosic materials, comprising ammonium sulfate, borax, boric acid, hydrogen peroxide, water and optionally a surfactant and/or an alkyl phthalate ester.
- US5151127 discloses a composition which preserves or protects wood and cellulose products against deterioration due to mould, fungi, insects, weather, fire and flames.
- the composition comprises boric acid, a water-based acrylic resin, water and optionally borax, urea, magnesium chloride, ammonium polyphosphate, ammonium thiosulfate and triethylamine.
- US4725382 discloses a fire retardant composition for wood products, comprising boric acid, diammonium phosphate, monoammonium phosphate and water.
- WO02/102926 discloses a fire retardant composition for wood-based panels, comprising a tertiary amine, boric acid or a borate, a phosphate and water.
- WO91/00327 discloses a fire retardant composition for wood and cellulosic products comprising boric acid and water.
- fire retardant compositions have various disadvantages. For example, many fire retardant compositions are detrimental to the physical or mechanical properties of the substrate to which they are applied, for example causing the substrate to loose strength. Often the fire retardant compositions leave an unsightly deposit or residue on the substrate making it less aesthetically attractive. Moreover many fire retardant compositions are acidic and/or corrosive and/or hazardous to humans, which makes them unsafe to handle and limits their applicability.
- fire retardant compositions comprise halogenated compounds, which are not only unsafe to handle, but can also emit toxic gases in the presence of fire. Toxic gases are frequently more dangerous to humans than the fire itself. Consequently, not only should the fire retardant compositions reduce substantially the flammability of the substrate, but they should also be safe to humans during flaming conditions. It would therefore be desirable to have a fire retardant composition which does not suffer from the disadvantages of the prior art compositions.
- the present invention provides an improved fire retardant composition.
- fire retardant composition refers to a composition which, when applied to a substrate, renders the substrate fire resistant.
- fire resistant substrate refers to a substrate which, when it is subjected to a flame or fire, burns less or more slowly or with less heat or emits less toxic gas, compared to the same substrate to which the composition has not been applied.
- a "fire resistant” substrate is less susceptible to burning and/ or less likely to emit toxic gas when it does burn, compared to the same substrate to which the composition has not been applied.

- the composition of the present invention comprises monoethylene glycol (H0CH 2 CH 2 0H), monoammonium phosphate (NH 4 H 2 P0 4 ), water and preferably hydrogen borate (H 3 B0 3 ).
- monoammonium phosphate reduces the amount of oxygen on the surface of the substrate and prevents oxygen from penetrating the substrate, such that the substrate only carbonizes but does not burn.
- the high heat resistance of hydrogen borate is believed to slow down heat transfer and to delay the substrate from reaching burning temperature.
- Hydrogen borate is also believed to increase the heat resistance of substrates and to suspend water molecules in cellulose based substrates. It is further believed that the presence of the monoethylene glycol in the composition of the present invention provides the composition with its good mechanical properties and weathering performance.
- Hydrogen borate 300g was dissolved in water (io,oooml) with stirring. Then monoammonium phosphate (2,ooog) was added to the solution under stirring. Finally monoethylene glycol (300ml) was added to the solution under stirring to obtain a final solution. The process was carried out at room temperature.
